Can a keyboard be replaced? For example, I have a macbook purchased in Mexico but want to change it to an American keyboard and system for easier typing and comfort.
This covers basics about that model from 'Identify your MacBook Air' link:

Some models at least would require the entire Top Case replaced with touch pad
and keyboard & more. Often a battery that is glued in position would be involved.
Perhaps this project can be prohibitively costly. You've not specified the build model
MacBook (early 2006-2010) or later MacBook 12-in Retina; or MacBook/Air, MacBook
/Pro; as each evolved over time.

You can find similar information for MacBook /Pro and MacBook /Air.
Good luck & happy trails! ☺︎

PS: depending on the specifics, there may be an easier way
around that; instead of changing the keyboard: in settings?

Or perhaps, change all key-caps; those are available separately.
Those are often 'individually replaceable'. ~ Or one of these:
(When display is open, a temporary keyboard cover with all key
details on it, can help you use it. And remove the cover before
you close display/lid. ~ That way no damages happen.)
The age of the unit and costs, seem like a high price to change
how you'd use the keyboard. + That's mostly superficial at best.
Good deal! Didn’t know much about the topic. The macbook at question is a Macbook Air purchased in 2018.
