[SOLVED] xdotool language

Hello,

I am trying to find a real solution to setting the language for xdotool

I have a script which types my email address but it is using the US keyboard layout when my keyboard is set to ES.

The xdotool help doesn't help. so I have set it to type what the US keyboard has eg: simon?jose\"gomez.com which correctly types out the email address as simon_jose@gomez.com

Is this the only way to do it?
