@x0@Caoimhe This all comes from the fact that Poland was piss-poor, used a latin alphabet, and there were cocom restrictions preventing official exportation of computers to eastern-bloc countries. This meant that all of the computers we had at the time were unofficially imported from the west and couldn't be localized to Polish by their original manufacturers, we had to find a way to make do with what we had, and what we had was qwerty keyboards with American markings on them. If not for this, we would have probably gone for a variation on the German qwertz, which is what we used to have on typewriters.
