default keyboard?

Hi guys  :)

I haven't been able to keep up with the list recently, crook again (me, 
not it :)  ), but my OW beta did announce the full release, so that's 
definitely something to celebrate!

My current problem is with keyboard layout choice. I haven't previously 
had much reason to use my Vietnamese (Unicode) keyboard layout in OW, 
which I use constantly elsewhere, because so few sites support Unicode 
input.

However, I've started doing some voluntary translating in an online 
translation site called Rosetta, part of the Ubuntu Linux community:

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RosettaReleaseAnnouncement (general 
site)

https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/rosetta/ (input location, may ask for 
login, though)

and for every new string, and often within one string, I have to keep 
changing back to my Vietnamese keyboard. It persistently defaults back 
to the Australian English keyboard, probably because it's an 
English-based install, no Vietnamese-based install being available for 
Mac.

So I waste a lot of time deleting what I've written, changing keyboards 
again and retyping it. It's really aggravating.

(I already have Vietnamese set as my preferred language, and Google, 
for example, now presents in Vietnamese, which is great.)

Is there any way I can set my Vietnamese Unicode keyboard as the 
default one, system-wide, or just for OW? I realize this is probably 
not a OW problem, but I thought I'd ask, just in case that 
super-configurable browser has even more tools in its set. :)
