Missing German keyboard and Umlauts again

[timzett]

Just installed the latest OSMC build which is from 23rd of June 2019.
I’d like to add that in an earlier build from 2018 my German keyboard worked just fine, by configuring it from the regional settings menu within OSMC.

Now my German layout and especially the Umlauts are gone again. I tried all possible options from the settings menu, then also different install and configuration commands from the console - nothing.

The latest related post I found is this one, however the steps described in there also don’t work for me:

German Keyboard Layout

Hello Together! I am new to OSMC and would please need your help =) I can not set my Bluetooth Logitech Keyboard to German! In the Settings i already have set all to German & German QWERTZ, but also a Reboot dont fix my Problem. Can somebody say me please how i can do this? Thanks & Best Regards Xenon

Any advice?

It’s nowhere near the regional settings: System->Input->Keyboard.

Thanks grahamh, you are so right. Changed it there and all is well

There is still one thing that confuses me though, and likely what lead me towards the wrong path:
If that is all to be done, what are the following settings still for?
Settings > Interface > Regional > Character Set
and
Settings > Interface > Regional > Keyboard Layouts

Those are for what you see on the screen - characters generally and the on-screen keyboard.

Perfect - noted.
Thanks a lot.
