I sometimes write in German and French, which means non ASCII characters.

I don´t know if I just need to edit keyboard preferences to a different kind of keyboard (like US international) or if I must install whole language packages. I wouldn´t mind having the dictionaries and autocorrect for libreoffice, but after selecting the languages it also downloaded help guides in these languages and several regional variants of English (za, gi, ca...), which I don´t need.

The system is in Unicode throughout, so it can handle any language, whatever it's set to. The only thing to check is input. Maybe use a compose key, and or switch to international qwerty.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
