You can quickly and easily add and change the "input sources" table in

System preferences > keyboard


add German and switch to German.


most non-French Romance languages use QWERTY rather than AZERTY, but there are only about five keys in that part of the switch-over.


to get the key caps you need, use a sharpie marker for light colored keys, or apply a sticker for dark-colored keys, or post a typing chart on the wall near where you work.


If your keyboard has failed, Apple will ONLY replace like-for-like, not language changed.
