Does the keyboard support multiple languages and display the proper foreign character?

Yes, see the interactive demo here -

Several language options are available in the demo.

That's the whole idea. Because each keytop is a tiny display, the keyboard can dynamically switch to any desired language instantly. You could pull tricks like accommodating Japanese by having the user key in one of the phonetic characters (kana) to specify a sound, then having the keyboard display all the kanji that have that sound. The possibilities are endless.
