How many languages do you need to routinely access? Are you opposed to keyboard stickers? Aemon Send a noteboard - 07/12/2010 06:58:18 PM
You probably know that Windows (and most other Operating Systems) can change the keyboard language for you. Also, you can put the language menu on your taskbar, or assign it to a hotkey so that it's easy to quickly switch. It seems to me that, if you only needed two or three languages on a regular basis, Windows language changing + keyboard stickers (such as these: http://amzn.to/goharS) would solve your problem.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question though.

Is there a simple way to have an international keyboard? Tom - 07/12/2010 05:19:17 PM 684 Views
Isn't there a US-international option in your settings? jh - 07/12/2010 05:47:44 PM 504 Views
There are quick keys for those, that might be better for your purposes Isaac - 07/12/2010 06:05:36 PM 485 Views

If you use them a lot you memorize them quickly. Joel - 08/12/2010 02:02:05 AM 721 Views
Hitting "Alt+144" every time I need to type É is not really a solution. Tom - 07/12/2010 07:22:32 PM 454 Views
Apparently your convenience miles may vary. *NM* Craig - 07/12/2010 07:29:53 PM 229 Views
As Craig said, your mileage will vary But there is another alternative that might work for you Isaac - 07/12/2010 08:05:44 PM 583 Views
No, the Canadian French keyboard is so much simpler. *NM* Tom - 08/12/2010 05:13:20 AM 218 Views

Four, I guess. Tom - 07/12/2010 07:19:36 PM 437 Views
Agreed. If I want to write in French, I have to use Word. Ghavrel - 07/12/2010 08:21:58 PM 440 Views
Obviously the solution is to be less educated. Who needs French? *NM* Aemon - 07/12/2010 08:31:10 PM 224 Views

Learn your alt codes. *NM* Legolas - 07/12/2010 08:56:37 PM 205 Views
For every time I need to write é? No thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/12/2010 09:30:01 PM 230 Views
alt+8834 Craig - 07/12/2010 09:38:13 PM 543 Views
Huh. Odd, that one... the normal one is just alt 0233. *NM* Legolas - 07/12/2010 10:05:31 PM 196 Views
Eh, once you're used to it it's pretty fast. *NM* Legolas - 07/12/2010 10:06:14 PM 220 Views
I'd like to point out that alt codes are ENORMOUSLY inconvient on laptops, LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 10:02:22 PM 464 Views
True, laptops are pain in the ass for it. Legolas - 07/12/2010 10:04:53 PM 447 Views
Waste of fucking time. Tom - 08/12/2010 04:33:25 AM 457 Views
Install the Candian French keyboard. Tom - 08/12/2010 04:30:29 AM 467 Views
well ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 07/12/2010 07:07:16 PM 473 Views
Yeah, I find inserting accents really easy with a Mac keyboard *NM* Darth_Katie - 07/12/2010 07:32:08 PM 186 Views
Use a UK keyboard instead of US, and press Alt GR + vowel for acute accents. Tim - 07/12/2010 11:30:36 PM 453 Views
What a waste of time. Tom - 08/12/2010 04:29:08 AM 499 Views
Perfect. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/12/2010 05:08:20 AM 218 Views
You seem to have wasted a lot of time in this thread. *NM* Craig - 08/12/2010 05:52:25 AM 206 Views
A one-time thing, rather than an ongoing waste that will accumulate to eat up days of my life. *NM* Tom - 08/12/2010 01:38:32 PM 208 Views
