Windows 10: Disappearing Foreign Characters in Word

Why, when typing in Word Windows 10 do accents on foreign characters I enter disappear, when I hit the space bar to go to the next word? i.e An e with an acute accent will become just a normal e when I move on. I'm using the Insert function to write the foreign characters.

Foreign Disk

Hi,

You will only lose the data in the Foreign Disk once you convert it to a "Basic Disk" in Disk Management.

To allow the disk to be recognized, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key and type "Disk Management" and click on it.
• Right-click on the foreign disk and select "Import Foreign Disks..."
  
  

Feel free to post back with more information.

 

Typing in Foreign Languages and Foreign Scripts: accents, umlaut, Japanese, Chinese, diacritics, International Phonetic Alphabet characters, etc.

I love studying foreign languages, foreign cultures, and also English dialects, and I really need to know how to be able to enter text in another language, script, or unusual characters directly as I am typing. As it is right now, I have to obtain the words
with their unusual character/scripts indirectly by looking them up the internet and then pasting them in. This is very cumbersome, time-consuming, and not always possible. Is there some way to enter unusual characters or diacritics as one types? I used to
be able to enter Japanese easily on my Mac.

 

Using word flow keyboard with not supported foreign language

Using word flow keyboard for fast typing with many foreign languages is impossible. But there is a workaround to use word flow features to create keyboard macros (custom dictionary) for not supported
language. Here is the steps how to do this:

A.

1. Switch to your language
(Bulgarian in my case) and type the desired word, for example
клавиатура (“keyboard” in Bulgarian).

2. Tap the word to select it.

3. Switch to English and you will see typed word just above the keyboard preceeded by a plus (+клавиатура) and tap on it in order to add it to custom dictionary.

4. When writing text in your language, enter the first letter and switch to English. Just above the keyboard you will see a list of words starting with this letter. If you want to shorten the list, enter
two or more letters before switching to English.

5. Select the word from list by tapping it.

B.

1. Open Contacts and create a new entry – for example, enter in the name field the word “keyboard” in Bulgarian клавиатура (or
any word in language you prefer). In the same field you can enter more words starting with the same letter, for example клавиш (key), капачка (cap) etc.
Add a space and period (.) after the last word, otherwise it will not be used in dictionary.

2. When writing text in your language (Bulgarian in my case), enter the first letter
and switch to English. Just above the keyboard you will see a list of words you’ve entered in step 1. (and any names starting with this letter from your contacts, if you have any). If you want to shorten the list, enter two or more letters before
switching to English.

3. Select the word from list by tapping it.

This way you can speed up typing of common used (long) words in your language.
