German keyboard

Hello,

I have Windows 8 mobile phone and no matter how I try I can't find the German sharp s or other specific letters on the keyboard.

Is there any way to get it? For German language the English keyboard is not very useful.

Thank you,

Marketa

French ç with a German keyboard without a numeric keyboard?


The letter ç can be typed using French input language (keyboard layout) with the same key you get digit 9, top row of alphanumeric keys (just under the Function keys).

Simply add French input language (keyboard layout) to your system and switch to it whenever you need it. To add French input language go to Settings > Time & language > Region & language, select your display language, click Options:



Click Add a keyboard, browse to French and add it:




When done and you'll need to type using French layout, click the language indicator in notification area and select preferred input language:




Please notice, because I have the Taskbar vertical on left, screenshot above might look different than your actual Taskbar and Notification area. Using the default Taskbar on bottom, the language indicator is next to clock at bottom right corner of your display.

That's it. All letter ç in this post were typed simply by switching my usual Finnish input language temporarily to French, using a physical keyboard device with German key layout.
