  1. Foreign language character input


    Foreign language characters (like ā instead of a) used to be accessed by typing Alt + 'the key you want', but now for some reason it is Alt + Ctrl + 'the key you want'. Can i change it back to the way it was? I looked all over but couldn't find a way to do it. I have the language selected in the language bar.

    :)

  2. Foreign Language Keyboards

    I write material in five European languages and use the foreign language keyboards in order to get the characters not found in English. Will keyboards for French, German, Icelandic, and Spanish be available in Windows 10? Otherwise, i'll stay at Windows

    Hi,



    Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Community.



    Adding an input language enables you to set a language-preference order for websites and applications, as well as change your keyboard language. Please follow these steps for adding language:

    • Select the Start Button, then Settings > Time & language > Region & language.
    • Select Add a language.
    • Select the language you want to use from the list. Your download will begin immediately.
    • Note: To switch the input language you're using in Windows 10, select the language abbreviation at the far right of your taskbar and then select the language or input method you want to use. You can also press and hold the
      Windows logo key Windows logo Start button and then repeatedly press the
      Spacebar to cycle through all your languages.


    Let us know if there is anything else we could help you with.
