    You can’t download a physical keyboard, which is what your link is describing.

    You can add keyboard layouts for various languages through the Input Sources tab of the Keyboard System Preferences. You can add multiple languages to the input source and show the menu in the Status Menu bar. It displays as a flag icon. You can switch languages from there.

    Apple provides you already with keyboard layouts for French Swiss and German Swiss keyboards.  Is there some reason neither of these works right for you?

    Dear Gewecke,

    Tks for your help but the problem is that in my physic keyboard there are key that do not work neither with the French or German .

    for such reazon I was check on Apple data "How to identify keyboard localizations" and find there the

    one called Swiss multilingual that shows the characters  missing in the others two and are in my KBoard

    But the referred data do not indicate where I can download that one.

    Sorry to take your time , but I still looking for a solution.

    Best regards

    Júnio

    "Swiss Multilingual" is the same as Swiss French.  Do have the swiss flag with the little french flag underneath at the top right of your screen?  Could you give me examples of characters you think it does not have?  I can probably tell you how to make them.

    Good news.  Does the Swiss French keyboard layout work OK for you then?
