My guess is - Keyboard or Keyboard & Mouse Control Panel. Depending which control panel was installed. These were change about in 7.1/7.5/7.6/8.0
Mac OS 7.6 on PowerBook 1400cs/166?
There's no option in the keyboard control panel, and I don't really want to change the keyboard layout so much as the spellings (e.g. "color" to "colour", "recognize" to "recognise").
Edit: Has the 1400cs/166 got an active or passive matrix screen?

CS is passive, the C is active.
I think to have the flag shown on the menu bar you have to select more than one keyboard layouts in the keyboard ctrl panel, then it will get on the menu bar, and from there you can switch between the ones you've chosen.
But I don't care about the keyboard layout, I only care about the spelling!
Thought you wanted a flag on the menu bar ? Sorry then
Indeed , if you want the system to correctly spell "color" from "color" , maybe you need a British OS 7.6.1 … dunno.
PM me if you find one.
Could I update a US 7.6 with a British 7.6.1?
It can update, but not all the dialogs will have the updated UK Spellings. You would end up with a Frankenstein system where the dialog windows will come up with either American or UK spells.
The biggest issue I see is your word processor on that machine. Just like the OS, MSWord has its own dictionary, when installing it, you need to install the correct dictionary.

Max says that he might have British English on his servers in a Mac OS Anthology or Developer CD.
I have a non-bootable British English 7.6.1 from Max.

S short for STN, otherwise super twisted nematic.
Mine runs SSW 7 - I even have the restore CD for it. Works great
At the risk of stating the obvious, have you tried taking apart the display assembly, repositioning the cable, and putting it back together? The 1400, including the display assembly, is extremely simple to take apart.
As for the OS thing, my 1400 runs Japanese 7.6.1 and has had a 166MHz model's logic board in it although it does not currently. EveryMac seems to have a few minor details about the 1400 wrong on their pages; for example, the 1400c(s)/133 page states that it has a 56MB RAM ceiling unlike the 64MB ceiling in the 117 and 166, but mine is a 133 and I have 64MB in it.
