Using an image of the new layout, and by doing drills. If you care about touch typing, you're training to type without looking at the keyboard anyway. This is how I learned to touch type on Dvorak years ago. I had never learned to touch type on QWERTY before, and I still can't. But then again, I typically don't type on other people's computers and when I do, I look at the keys.
