------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 Calculate-40 on OLPC 12.1.0 os20 always treats the XO's language switch
 key as it functions on the English XO keyboard.  The unshifted version of
 this key inserts a "*" (multiply) operator into the calculation, and the
 shifted version a "/" (divide) operator.

 This key is defined differently on non-English keyboards.  On Brazilian
 keyboards the unshifted character is "/" and the shifted character is "?".
 In this case attempting to divide using the keyboard always results in
 multiplication.

 If the key is used as an actual language switch, the "*" and (shifted) "/"
 operators still get added to the calculation to be evaluated.  This is in
 addition to the language being switched.
