What is the reason for adding yet another place in the settings to change the language or keyboard layout?

Settings > Libreelec > System > Keyboard Layout
Interface > Regional > Language & Keyboard layouts
System > Inputs > Keyboard layouts

There may be a technical difference between each option, but it's not user friendly.

And don't get me started on having to set the language for some other options like information providers, subtitles and audio...

So why not gather ALL language and regionality settings in a new steetngs menu? 
 This is a really good point. I understand the frustration and I really didn't want to have to add another keyboard setting. This one is only temporary because I don't have enough time for the kodi v18 release window, so this is better than not being able to adjust the keymap at all.

In v19 I plan to expand the peripherals api so I can move the libinput code into an add-on and then it will be really nice to manage devices and each device will have it's own settings Smile Expanding an API takes a lot of time though and we are in beta3 period right now.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put all the region settings together but who knows. I do agree that Kodi does have too many settings though.
