I had a Dell which was bought in France[1] (with a French azerty 
keyboard). I bought the luminous keyboard stickers, which sort of did 
the job (the most used keys faded to white after about three months, but 
it was still better than seeing azerty). After about half a year they 
keyboard broke. I took it to one of the Dell support centers, and got it 
fixed under warranty without a hitch. Unlike the Israeli warranty, which 
was same day, they only promised five work days, but still I did not 
have to pay for the fix. Same goes several months later when the battery 
and CD malfunctioned (the battery was dead, and the CD would not burn). 
The batter was replaced a week before its warranty expired.

It is also worth mentioning that the keyboard was fixed by replacing it 
with a new one. Needless to say, the new keyboard was a Hebrew/qwerty 
keyboard, so that was another problem solved.
