Windows 10: How to add English keyboard layout into Vietnamese language like on old windows 10 build?

I applaud the effort to add telex and vni method into the new windows build, but they are abyssmal i won't go to detail. I'm desperate, I can barely type with the new methods.


In the old build, I can still add English keyboard layout into Vietnamese language and then use other program like Unikey to type effectively. How to do it with the new build.

Can't (completely) remove language keyboard layout


Yup, no such luck. My next step will be to temporarily install another language as the system language (like English UK or something), and remove US English as the default language and the keyboard, and everything, and then reboot and install it again and see if that does anything....

But I am betting it won't. And my reason is because when I was inspired to make my own keyboard layout I downloaded one another person had made, whidch was based on English UK keyboard, and it did not work correctly for me so I uninstalled it (and have since improved, I think, upon what he had done,) and I just now realized that that keyboard, which was under English language and keyboard, is still in my list as well. When I had installed it then UK English had become one of the available languages, and I have since removed it from being active and so forht. So, basically I did to UK English what I am propsing to do for US English... and yet that old keyboard layout remains.

There has to be somewhere that Windows keeps references all the different keyboard layouts available for the different language packs installed.... The question is where is that and how to modify it?

 

Telex Mode For Vietnamese Keyboard On Windows 10.

Hi Minh-Tam Nguyen-Nhat,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I believe that you are on an older Windows 10 build because Telex Mode for Vietnamese keyboard is available for the latest
Windows 10 Update, i.e., 1903 May update and Windows 10 Insider Preview Builds (19H1) Build so that you can have the best possible typing experience and we're happy to announce that with this build you can now use Vietnamese
Telex and Number-key based (VNI) keyboards for typing Vietnamese!



So, I suggest you to Update Windows 10 to the 1903 version to start using
Telex Mode for Vietnamese keyboard.



If you are not getting the 1903 update through Windows Updates, then I suggest you to follow the steps provided by
PaulSey dated August 9, 2017 from How
to perform an In-place Upgrade with Windows 10 Step-by-Step Guide.



Once you install the Windows 10 1903 update, then follow the below steps to setup Telex Mode for Vietnamese keyboard on your computer.

1. Go to Settings > Time & Language >
   Language from the navigation menu > Select the + icon labeled [Add a preferred language].
   
2. Type Vietnamese in the search box and select
   Vietnamese. Click Next button and install Vietnamese on your device, which will return you to
   Language page.
   
3. Click Vietnamese, and then click
   Option button, which will navigate you to Language options: Vietnamese.
   
4. Select the + icon labeled [Add a keyboard] > Enable the
   Vietnamese Telex keyboard or Vietnamese Number key-based keyboard (whichever you prefer).
   
5. Click the input indicator button on the taskbar (or press Windows key + Space) and select
   Vietnamese Telex or Number-key based keyboard. Input anything via your hardware keyboard or touch keyboard.
