German

German CPCs have normal english keyboards. The keyboards (or case) is only different in so far that it is labeled Schneider instead Amstrad, and the 664/6128 have german colour tables on the disc drive. And, the keys are gray, unlike the more colorful Amstrad ones.

Notes

According to soft968 the official language variants are: Spanish, French and Danish. And, presumably, English was official, too. -- Is that true? The (imcompletely) scanned SOFT 968 document doesn't seem to say anything about Danish.
