Typing Other Languages on an iPad with a Hardware Keyboard

When using a hardware keyboard to type other languages with an iPad or other iOS device, you may need to go into Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboards in order to match the layout there with whatever is printed on the keys of your hardware.  Unfortunately Apple supplies only a limited selection of such layouts, so an exact match may not be possible.  For example, if your keyboard requires the British PC layout, you are out of luck.  

 

A list of the layouts available in iOS 9 is at:

As far as I know, 3rd party keyboards do not include hardware layouts.
