When you buy a keyboard and a computer in Latin America, are the keyboard options translated? What about System options? They are translated in Spain but I am not sure about Latin American countries. Thanks!

Explanation:
On a keyboard in Mexico you will find:
Delete - Suprimir (Sup.)
Enter - Entrar or Enter
Backspace - Retroceder (Retro.)

In common speech, borrar or suprimir is used for delete and "dale en Enter" is how most people say "hit enter"

"System options" I would translate as "Opciones del Sistema"

oops, that was the first time I ever filled out that form. The actual translation should be:

Keyboard options, ie "Delete", "Enter", "Backspace" and System Options

Opciones del teclado, p. ej. "Suprimir", "Enter", "Retroceder" y Opciones del sistema
