It actually says "French Bilingual" keyboard, which is likely the
Canadian English/French bilingual layout. If it is, I consider this a
bonus. I have these on my desktop and most used laptop. With Ubuntu
Linux it defaults to English, with all key symbols matching a standard
US English keyboard and you can touch-type as such.

By simply pressing "Windows Key"+Space, it switches to French mode,
with the additional or alternative key symbols activated, giving easy
access to this whole range of symbols using the "Alt Gr" key. You
could touch-type if familiar with the Canadian French layout.

Another press of "Windows Key"+Space toggles back to English layout.
The current selection is shown on the status bar and can be selected
from there as an alternative.
