This seems to be an issue of ANSI vs. ISO keyboard layout design  
(independent from the language). At ADC I could only find the ANSI  
keyboard design:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/ 
Macintosh_CPUs-G4/PowerMacG4/3Input-Output/chapter_4_section_9.html#// 
apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000928-TP30000305-TPXREF128>

But if you don't mind backwards time travel, and have a taste for  
simplicity, then those pages have all the relevant info:
