Yes, I'll repeat it again. You will have a British keyboard.

You will have a British keyboard.

The keyboard upon which you will type, will be of a British layout.

I'm not sure about that. I ordered mine in Germany but with a US keyboard and it says



I was told that the Country kit is kind of license agreements or something.

So what does it say under the "KYBD/User's Guide" title?

Mine is KYBD/User's Guide (Z) - LL

I am confused~~~

Not true! This simply mean your power plug will be UK standard.
I've ordered a French keyboard and it says

KYBD/User's Guide -F

Thx very much for everyones help. I have just contacted apple who was dealing with my order. Saying that the (Z) -LL is in fact the US keyboard layout. Lets hope he is right :D

Whats the difference in US and British keyboard anyway?

From what I can tell the return key is different and option, command keys have option and command written on them?
 
I bought my MBP in Holland. The only diff between the Dutch and Int'l EN keyboard is "num lock" on the F6 key is abbreviated in Dutch: "num vergr", but then you have "home", "page", "end", etc. in EN. I thought its odd Apple would bother to maintain a different part # just for the F6 key difference. So Dutch or Int'l EN are both fine with me. I prefer more symbols & as I do a lot of command line stuff, having the tilde next to the shift key is ideal. "`" is on the same key, which is convenient for typing in French (e.g. many à's). Voilà.

If someone where to order a replacement keyboard, if there weren't different P/N, the part would be draw of luck.
 
What I mean is why bother generating another P/N just for "vergr" instead of "lock". I know that any difference requires a new P/N, which = a new Assembly #, which could = a unique SKU. In theory, you could have a continental EU / Int'l EN subassembly which could be dropped into language-specific (or multi-lingual) outer boxes (used in multiple countries).
 
I ordered an MBP online with an International English keyboard. In the Order status, it indicates: "KYBD/User's Guide -ZH"

Could anyone please confirm if "ZH" is indeed the Int'l EN keyboard?

This was funny the first time you read it but it is even funnier by the end of the thread because it was completely wrong.
