Typing Accents
How to Type with your Keyboard
The European language characters are very close to English but many of them
have accents above the characters. When you start working with translation
software you will need to type letters with the accents above them. You have
a couple of options, first you can easily change your keyboard settings in
windows and then toggle between for example, Spanish and the English by hitting "Alt
+ shift". Second, if you only need a couple of foreign language characters,
you can use your number pad to make ASCII characters. Below are instructions
on how to do this.
Option 1: Type in only a few
accents in Spanish Manually use your number pad to input ASCII character.
For instructions go to our Foreign
Language Characters section.
