[Bug 514869] [NEW] Bulgarian keyboard layout does not match the standard

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

The Bulgarian keyboard layout in Ubuntu (the one identified simply as
"Bulgaria - Bulgaria") does not match the standard Bulgarian keyboard
layout. The layout implemented in Ubuntu seems to be based on the
failed* proposal for a standard prBDS 5237:2006. For example, the round
brackets () are moved to a different key, and in their place are
introduced inverted double quotation marks.

Most importantly, the layout doesn't match the symbols on keyboards sold in Bulgaria:

(* The proposal prBDS 5237:2006 failed to be accepted as a standard:

Google Translate' Bulgarian-to-English translation is passable.)
