How change from azerty to qwerty on the login screen?

Hi,


I have a macbook, bought in the USA, but I live in Belgium.
I wanted to change my qwerty keybord to azerty (because I was used to this) but found that is was very unhandy.

So I change it back. The only problem is that it doesnt changed back on my login screen.

That stays in azerty.

It is very unhandy because all the letters aren't at their normal place and when you have to enter a password it can become very difficult to enter it right.


Can anyone tell me how I can change my keybord from azerty to qwerty on my loginscreen?
Thanks!

Enable the layouts you prefer (presumably Belgian and US QWERTY, you might also find US Extended useful), and enable Show input menu in menu bar. You'll be able to switch from one keylayout to another easily. With the Keyboard Shortcuts button you'll be able to assign shortcuts to the switching function.

If it works, have a Liefmans Frambozen for me.
