--- Comment #3 from Peter Grehan <grehan at FreeBSD.org> ---
Another way to solve this is to implement the "QEMU Extended Key Event Message"
in the server
(https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#qemu-extended-key-event-message)

This allows scancodes to be sent end-end so avoids information loss and locale
mis-translation when converting VNC keycodes to PS2 scancodes.

The downside is that client support is patchy :( It's in recent versions of
TigerVNC and originated fron NoVMC, but isn't in VNCViewer, tightVNC or
UltraVNC :(

However, it avoids the problem of having to create per-language maps.
