Ordering Macbook Pro in Germany with BOTH English and Russian keyboard

G'day!


Macbook Pro, which I own currently, was bought at an official Apple distributor in Russia several years ago. It has both English and Russian symbols on the keyboard. I now reside in Germany and would like to order a new Macbook Pro with exactly the same keyboard layout.


Apple website allows me to select a custom keyboard (e.g. the Russian one) as part of the purchase process, however does not state, whether those Russian symbols come in addition to default English ones, or replace them completely. Could someone shed any light on this issue? What should I do, if I want to have both languages' symbols on my keyboard?


Thank you in advance for replying to me!

Have you seen machines with only Russian on the keys? I am curious how people would use them to type most email and web addresses which use Latin. In any case, as Grant Bennet Alder says, the English glyphs will be there. This note has more info
