Adapting US MacBook Air for use in Mexico

I purchased a used MacBook Air (2011 13") for the child of a friend in Mexico who is schooling at home. It did not occur to me at the time I bought it that there are differences in the keyboard. I know I can go into settings and add a Spanish language to my options but what about the labeling of the keys? In addition how I change the language of the tool bars etc?


Thanks, Stuart

As for the language of the menus, dialogues, toolbars, etc. see

Spanish keyboards do have a different labeling. You can see it at

Changing the actually keys is most likely not practical, but if the labeling is a problem you could use stickers or a "skin".
