you should install also the nvidia drivers and then eselect the nvidia
opengl instead of the xorg one, cause it's much more performant.... follow
the nvidia howtos on gentoo-wiki for that if you haven't done it yet....
anyway this is only the xorg server package, not the internationalizzation
package which has the voices about the linguas.... for me (kde user) is
kde-base/kde-i18n which has various linguas compiled.... the absence of the
voice "LINGUAS ="en cz"" may say that it should have installed all the
default languages.... if you're using some other window manager than kde you
should search on which is the internazionalization package on your
windowmanager....
but first i have forgotten of the x11-apps/setxkbmap package which controls
the x keyb changer.... see if it's installed.... it may be due to it that
the system doesn't switch the keyb layout.... and another thing, on kde, you
should first enable the shortcut on the kde admin pannel....
