german keyboard, french os

Hi everyone
First of all, great forum here, I know it since some time and I'm also using a custom ROM for my Kaiser, but I think this is actually the first time I'm posting.
Let me explain my situation I am from Switzerland (and so is my company, where I am the Cell Phone Fleet Manager). Believe it or not, but in Switzerland, there are four official languages (German, French, Italian, and something called Romantsch which noone speaks).
Problem is that we're going to open an office in the French part of Switzerland (me and the rest of the company are located in the German part). And the employees there obviously would like to have phones.
Now, although they do speak French, they're not using a French AZERTY-Keyboard but a German QWERTZ-Keyboard. However, they want a French OS, and even worse, they want to be able to type all their freaky accents (é, à, è, ç, ...).
Now I checked back with HTC and they do not offer such a phone combinations. I also checked with our cell phone network providers, and they only offer the English phones in the French part... which leads me into trouble. What kinds of phones should i get them?
My idea is to buy German phones (that way I have the QUERTZ-Keyboad layout printed on the phone). Then load the French ROM and then load the German Keyboard driver back onto the French ROM. Question is: Is that possible?
Or do you have any better ideas?
Thanks
final
anyone ... ?

Any ideas how you can get accents to work on a FUZE keyboard? Someone developed an application that would do what i need, however I don't know how to re-map the SYM key to another one... I don't have it in my keyboard as a standalone key...
not quite sure if it will help.
I just overread the whole thread, but maybe you'll find somthing in there.

Programmaticaly change T9 language?

Hi!
I need for my app the function of changing the T9 language WM uses, for example between Norwegian and Swedish, if those are the languages installed.
Can't seem to find anything valuable on google or at msdn, does anybody know of a registry key, API or similar that might be helpful?

English menus and Swedish region?

Hi!
So I'm from Sweden but I always prefer menus in English whether it be my mobile phone or computer. Although I want to use everything bound to the metric system.
If I set it to UK - English I get miles in google maps for instance, imperial ****.
So this is done easy in windows mobile or in Windows/Ubuntu.
How can I do this with my android device?
Thanks!

[Q] Bing map navigation problem Solved!!!

For those of you who are wondering why Bing Map shows only the "Current Position" button and not the other features like "Search whats near by", "Navigation" etc., just change your Region on your phone to "US" or "UK" or any country other than India or the currently selected one. You can do this by Home->Settings->Region+Language->Region Format. Go to Maps again and you'll find all the features waiting to be used by You.. By doing this, You'll also start getting some "Boxes" on the wall paper when you press the Search Button which will take you to Bing Search. Once you press the Box, you'll notice some interesting information about the wall paper you're seeing...
Always a great tip. People familiar with the platform are well aware of this, but newer people wouldn't be.
I'm in Canada, so I solved the navigation problem by getting a Garmin GPS unit
However in some language interface this cannot be solved by just setting the search language to US/UK, e.g. Chinese (Traditional/Simplified), Korean and some East European languages like Czech, Polish etc.
Waiting for Microsoft to make the user interface on different languages a bit more fair.
