#37999 — Keyboard settings

I have a Raspberry Pi 5 where I have two users. One has the correct
keyboard-settings, the other defaults to "UK". When logged in as the
user with the incorrect setting I see, in the Control Center, "Layout:
English (US)", and "US (United States)" as the locale.

What di I need to do to get the correct setting?

Which operating system do you run?
On Debian, I had to install kbd, as this is not included in the default 
Debian Raspberry Pi images.

I thought you were a Reform supporter, surely you don't want Johnny 
foreigner moving here. Although, to be fair The Hague is already closer 
to me than say Liverpool, and the Dutch do speak better English.

1. I am, at this point in time, a Reform supporter - the phrase best of 
a bad lot springs to mind...
2. Reform and UKIP have never been against immigration per se, Only 
against uncontrolled, low skilled and  and illegal immigration
3. The best English is spoken by Indians at this point in time.

Have you tried

Terminal > sudo raspi-config

to check the settings?

Could it be that user has a login shell script which is using
setxkbmap or some such command to change the keyboard locale?
