International Keyboard on MacBook

Living in Europe I still like to use a QWERTY keyboard and get my MACBOOK with English manuals etc. Can anyone verify for me (or reference a web site) that when the option "International Keyboard - English" is listed, that it is indeed the QWERTY Key board similar or nearly identical to the MacBook sold in the USA-- (and not an AZERTY or other keyboard layout).

THANKS!

The international English and US keyboards are both QWERTY, but are slightly different in the non-letter keys. Also, the international keyboard has symbols rather than words on some of the keys. But it's not terribly different. When my US case needed changing in Europe, they offered me the international keyboard, which they had in stock, as I would have to wait for a US one to be shipped from the US. I didn't like the vertical enter key on the international one, and so I just waited.

but what about this: for my work i might need umlauts such as ä and ö so is there a way to bring these to the international english keyboard. The original US keyboard cannot be acquired from europe, is this true?
