I now do have 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8', but I do want to replace it by 'US international with AltGr dead keys'. What is the the locale name that I can place on the /etc/locale.conf file? Many thanks. Is it 'en_US ISO-8859-1'? I do not see any other options on the list. I now know that 'US international with dead keys' is also 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8' on /etc/locale.gen, so something else has to be changed, but how to do this?

I know that I need this information:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="intl"
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"
But, I do not know on which file to place it, and how to activate it. I did remove 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8' from /etc/locale.gen, but it is still running, and I do not know how to replace it by 'US international with AltGr dead keys'

And you'll still need 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8' in /etc/locale.gen.

But if I take a look at, for instance, Ubuntu, it has the information:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="intl"
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"
on /etc/default/keyboard, and /etc/locale.conf is empty.

startx:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.1.log", Time: Wed Oct 19 07:32:06 2016

Parse error on line 6 of section InputClass in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
"XkbLayout" is not a valid keyword in this section.
On /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:
# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
"XkbLayout" "us"
"XkbModel" "pc105"
"XkbVariant" "intl"
"XkbOptions" " "
BACKSPACE="guess"
EndSection
Why is "XkbLayout" not a valid keyword in this section? How to correct the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf' file?
I firstly did try it out with the term 'option', but I did not get 'US international with dead keys'.
I did put the terms 'Option' back on the file, and 'startx' now does function, but I still do not have 'US international with dead keys'. So, what do I do incorrectly?
I would like to give the 'localectl command' a try. How do I fill the data on it?
Something like this: localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap us pc105 intl " " guess? I get the answer: "Too many arguments"
I deleted 'guess', now 'locatectl' functions, but I still do not have 'US international with dead keys'. So, what is wrong?

But if I take a look at, for instance, Ubuntu, it has the information:
Arch Linux is not Ubuntu. Read the wiki page you have been pointed to twice already and try what is described there, come back when you have doubts about that.

Which keymap represents: 'English (US, international with dead keys) layout'? For instance on '/etc/vconsole.conf' you can have 'KEYMAP=de-latin1'. Does a list of keymaps exist?

It is all over the web, e.g.:
