Spanish keyboard.....

[dellis]

Hello all,

I know that this is really off topic but i think its a good place to look for help on this one. Basically my wife and i are in the process of learning to speak spanish. i live in Canada and my computer is setup as such. I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction in allowing me to type in spanish. I'm sure there is some kind of language pack thingy to install or some sequence to switch the keyboard over or something. I would really like to get a hold on this because i think that participating in some spanish3d forums would be really great practice. Plus i would be learning all the words and sentences of my industry. Any help is appreciated.

Buena suerte con tu español!

Well, first of all I am not sure if your keyboard has all the required keys, like latin characters (for example ñ ´ ` ), not sure if you can even read these. I guess you can remap some keys to get the full spectrum of characters. I have no experience with foreign keyboard, except when i was in tokyo and had to use a japanese keyboard, weird experience .
I would be glad to help but Im not sure where to begin from...

Spanish Forums are not the best place to practice, because people tend to talk in a way that u will find difficult to understand, but if u are not afraid of challenges, go ahead!

You should just set the leyboard to spanish, in the windows language settings, and that should turn the keyboard in a spanish one.
Whatever's printed on the keys, the result is the same

I do that with my english keyboard that sometimes i need in italian.
