As you know, vDosXy (unlike plain vDos) is hard-coded to use the US keyboard
layout on the vDos command line. This can be corrected, but it must be done
separately for each national language.
To begin, here is program that remaps the vDosXY command line to a German
keyboard (dead keys are NOT supported, however):

The zip file includes the assembler source code. Even for a beginner
programmer, it should be a trivial job to change the source code so that it
works for a different language from German. I think it may also be possible to
modify it to use dead keys, though that would be quite a bit more complicated
(push the dead-key code into a memory address, then test the next keycode and
decide which character to send to the keyboard buffer).
Again, this will require someone willing to take the time to modify the source
code differently for each language.
