Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there.

welcome to the wonderfull hobby of mechanical keyboards and welcome to the pain and horror if you insist to get fitting keycaps to your language :)
"-Is standardized for all countries? For Spain for example." No, you may take a look (i.e.): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout or http://kbd-intl.narod.ru/english/layouts

For example: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/granite-keycap-set It's easy to spend something around 100-200 bucks, or you must be lucky to find an old keyboard in your country (ebay) to take of your desired caps and exchange them, might not look to good if the mix of old and new doesn't match your liking.
"-Someone can explain me what i need to do?" Maybe there might be some help here: http://www.spanish411.net/Spanish-Typing-Special-Characters.asp - http://www.spanish411.net/resources/SpanishKeyboard-Spain.pdf
Being german i've switched to EurKEY: http://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/layout.html long time ago, freedom to use ansi keyboards/keycapsets without missing my language given needs, your missing ñ would be Alt Gr + n or Ñ would be Shift + Alt Gr + n for example, logical assigned to n/N for me which is easy to memorize.
Good luck and have fun
