 ==== Layouts & Locales ====
 The Apple Standard Keyboard was offered in multiple layouts & locales to accommodate for different markets and audiences.
-=== M0116 ===
+  * The physical layout is determined by the keyboard's **Model Number**. (i.e. M0116, M0118)
-The most common layout used in the Apple Standard Keyboard featured an "M0116" Model Number. This Model Number refers to a Physical Layout that takes heavy inspiration from the Standard ANSI keyboard layout, as observed from the full-size 2.25u Shift keys and shortened BAE key.
+  * Non-English sublegends are determined by the last letters printed on the **Serial Number** in barcode-style rear labels.
+  * Albeit not common, non-English sublegends could be spotted on the M0116 layout, but they have an extra letter to the **Model Number**. (i.e. M0116C)
+=== M0116 ===
+The most common layout used in the Apple Standard Keyboard takes heavy inspiration from the Standard ANSI keyboard layout, as observed by the full-size 2.25u Shift keys and shortened BAE key.
 Being the most common and readily-available layout, the term "M0116" in the keyboard community is often used as a blanket-term for all Apple Standard Keyboards.

 === M0117/M0118 ===
 Most Non-English variants of the Apple Standard Keyboard featured an "M0118" Model Number, which is the ISO counterpart to the "M0116" Model Number. This physical layout features a shortened 1.25u Shift key on both sides, a shortened ISO-Enter key, and a simplified bottom-row.
-All official FCC IDs & Serial Numbers contain an "M0117". However, the ISO-like layout is collectively referred to as an "M0118" in the keyboard community.
