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.
Option 2: In Windows configure your keyboard to use a different language or
keyboard layout, use the appropriate method for your version of Windows.
