I have been working with this and I got as far as I could without realy knowing alot about other language and keybord settings. I got russian when I used russian keybordlayout. Greek looked like something and when I used serbian layout I got russian(cyrillic) letters on a qwerty layout. So far, so good! But for testing keyboard layout with only a few 'special' letters I couldn't test without help...

Ok, help me with this: s-caron and c-caron in slovak layout is on what keys?
I O P 1 2 enter
K L 3 4 5 enter
M 6 7 8 shift
Please fill in the missing keys (send e-mail as UTF-8 if you can, or spell them out)
The original Bug 528 is probly superseded with other bugs refering to how it works after 0.7.9
