It's not the same idea because it doesn't try to make it look like querty, but the colemak layout allows typing characters from most languages with a modifier key and sometimes (for the less common characters) a combo. In this link it illustrates this https://colemak.com/Multilingual https://colemak.com/Multilingual And linux (or at least Ubuntu) includes it by default. For spanish and german it's great.
