Typing in different languages

[SandStorm]

How do you do it? I have heard you press a combination of buttons and that is how you do it. But I don't know what combo. Please help.

In order to...type in different languages, one has to...have knowledge of said language.

You would...like to know how to access the...alternate characters included with many fonts, which is done through...the CTRL and ALT keys. I would suggest that...you use the font viewer to facilitate your task...until you become familiar with alternate characters.

You can control the keyboard layouts using different languages, but this assumes you have multiple-language support enabled, and each layout assigned to a hot-key combination.

You can access accented characters by using AltGr and the relevant key, so é is AltGR-e, and á is AltGr-a.

Or use the character map in Start - Programs - Accessories.

or you can simply use the same keyboard settings et continuer de parler dans une autre langue... ok, so maybe i'm cheating a bit here... going from French to English is a somewhat easy thing to do... for me at least!

with chinese, you need a chinese keyboard and the right language package to type it. with the different languages, you have a different keyboard. come on, you must've seen tomorrow never dies?

How would you type Japanese or Chinese with a keyboard? Don't they have hundreds of thousands of characters in their alphabet. I don't think anyone makes a keyboard with 200,000 keys.

Bueno, no se de que hablas, pero, yo si sabe hablar el Espanol bien. No muy bien, porque soy un gringo de America, pero si puedo hablar bueno. Cuando una persona viva en Miami, tu necesitas hablar el Espanol, por que hay muchos Cubanos mas que todos los otras personas.

Y es muy malo que yo no se como poner los accentos en la computadora.

Ik zou het niet weten hoe ze dat in die landen doen met hun keyboard. Ik weet wel hoe in hier in Nederland eraan toegaat
Dit voelt lekker zeg, eindelijk weer ff in je eigen taaltje typen. Gaat een stuk makkelijker


( BTW, THIS IS DUTCH )

Who said that you didn't learn anything from sitting behind a computer

1. Some may use the pinyin system which requires Alt, Ctrrl, etc. Pinyin: 'English' alphabet that is used in China to teach the sounds of the Chinese language. i.e. 'Shuiguo' (pronounced shway-guo) there are accents over the letters to denote tonation but I don't know how to type them in...

2. Chinese versions of windows and language packs allow for typing a very simple Chinese phonetic alphabet to build characters (yes, they have letters - characters are to Chinese as words are to English).

There also exist Chinese/English keyboards with Chinese phonetic alphabet written above english of each key.

I assume this is the same for Japanese computing as Chinese characters are only more complex.

[Shannon]

That was french. In english it means 'Hello. My name is eddy_2790.'

Can't think of anything else. I've got a heap of french in a book which I can't find.

I'm gonna clear this once and for all!

It's: Je m'appelle.!

Don't type: L'voiture but Le voiture
Don't type: Le hommage but L'hommage

There, from now on you guys can at least type a little civilized french. Although France pretty much *&@#^ ass. But who am I to judge...

 

[rjensen11]

I just installed the German Standard typeset, so my keyboard acts like German ones, with the Y being the Z, vice versa, and I also have the special characters. It's quite fun. All I have to do to change it back to Englisch is to click on some popup menu in my startmenu.

Better question:

Is there a reason why NOT to have a recent flurry of thread revivals? Besides, I only revived the oldest ones that could still be used, not stupid ones that are too dead that even the dead are bored of....

So yeah, I wanted to bring some life back into some potential threads, see if I could get a thread to become the "Longest running thread", even if it doesn't have the most posts.





I dunno, YC, I just don't know why, I was bored..................
