Comment (by axeld):

 Very sound, makes sense.

 Adrien, I think it would still work to automatically preselect a keymap
 when you change the language (and haven't touched the keymap yet): if the
 language of your choice isn't available, we would just stick to English,
 and you could then use the second tab (or menu) to change it.

 One way would be a keymap popup below the language list that would say
 "Default" or "choose by language", and where you can easily override that
 setting if needed. That way, it wouldn't steal as much space on the screen
 for something that will only be rarely used.
