Used to change the language mapping of your browser machine running the Remote
Console Applet. Normally, the applet determines the correct value automatically.
However, depending on your particular JVM and your browser settings this is not
always possible. A typical example is a German localized system that uses an
US-English keyboard mapping. In this case you have to change the Local Keyboard
setting to the right language, manually.

the host system.
A confirmation dialog can be added that will be displayed before sending the selected
command to the remote host. Select “OK” to perform the command on the remote host.
