Q: Change keyboard
Hi Apple Support Communities,
I am deciding to buy/order a MacBook Pro with Retina 13inch. The question I have is that if I am buying/ordering this product from a country that its first language is NOT English, for example: China and Taiwan is Chinese. In these countries, if I buy/order a MacBook Pro with Retina 13inch, they will automatically have keyboard with Chinese characters on it, which I DONT WANT the Chinese characters. Is it possible to ask the local retail store/online store from these countries that I want a MacBook Pro Retina 13inch with normal ONLY English characters (like the keyboard in U.S.)? I really don't want the Chinese characters.....
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

No in these forums represents Apple or any store. To find out whether you can buy something, you need to contact stores directly yourself or consult their website. For example, when you go the US online store website and select a product for your cart, it will give you a whole list of options for the keyboard. Every store is different in what it offers.
Note that all keyboards with non-English characters like Chinese on them also must have English as well, otherwise you could not type any email addresses.
I think in Taiwan Apple keyboards usually have Chinese on them, while in China they normally do not.
