Hi Nipp, welcome to SAF

DOS command for this is country=001,437(default) for the American layout. Depending on what keyboard you are using, this may change.

The control file for it is country.sys

For Brazil, as an example:
in config.sys
country=055,850, c:\dos\country.sys

in autoxec.bat
c:\dos\keyb br,850, c:\dos\keyboard.sys

Here you can find how to set it up to specific international keyboards:
