keyboard layout is croatian, as i selected it during install.
Very generally, I'd be inclined to suspect that a correlation between language and KB layout would be the best setup; i.e. Croatian language and ditto KB layout.
It may help if you describe in what way you feel things don't work well. Normally, I use a swedish KB layout and swedish language and I can view all web sites well, but when I try to enter special swedish characters, they don't always work out OK. I will then be forced to work with english/US character set only, avoiding my national specials. That is easy, as the US/english charset is a subset of the swedish charset; I just avoid åäö... Is your situation different?

i dont like the translations, first they are uncomplete and second, some things are just better left in english.
so croatian language is out of the question.
basically the same situation, i just thought there would be a solution to this, nothing is unsolvable, i can go past a few web sites that wont work well. but its annoying to work with remote desktop and get everything scrambled when typing on the remote machine.

So, what, more precisely, is not working? Characters typical to croatian (I guess there are diacritics for s and c and other things like that), or is the entire KB badly mapped? Some KB layouts come in varieties, like dvorak, qwerty and azerty.
When you do remote desktop, are the machines involved on UDF-8 both?

yes, in web pages only diacritics.
remote desktop seems to work fine with diacritics, but special characters are as if on qwerty keyboard, except the ones that are in places of diacritics, those i have yet to find :)
remote machines are win 2k3 with croatian kb layout.

i tried changing /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to use croat.map.gz, but i presume it is only related to text console?
also is /etc/sysconfig/language related to text console or? what would it effect to leave lang=en_US and changing everything else to croatian?
>locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

is it possible that rdp client uses these settings?
i am new to linux, so maybe these are all stupid questions :)
