    It should already be available unless you have changed the defaults by using the flag icon in the lower right corner on the taskbar you should be able to switch on the fly in KDE. If you have changed the defaults then in the KDE Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout and select the German keyboard to add to the list with the Enable keyboard layouts.

    The keyboard is determined by a script.

    /etc/init.d/keymap.sh

    as root, edit the line:

    loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz

    (to whatever kmap you want)

    and run

    /etc/init.d/keymap.sh reload

    There's a script (somewhere) which enables you to do this, but I don't know where it is!

    Open the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and change layout from the "us" to "de" in the keyboard section then you will have to restart the X server for it to take effect.

    Code:
    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier  "Keyboard0"
            Driver      "keyboard"
            Option      "CoreKeyboard"
            Option      "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
            Option      "XkbModel"      "pc101"
            Option      "XkbLayout"     "us"
            Option      "XkbOptions"     "crtl:nocaps"
    EndSection
