Answer 6

Hi guys!

I installed Spanish keyboard on my Mac and it worked perfectly till the renewing of the site. But now I can write advanced spanish letters in normal text (like writing exercises) but not in recall section. I think it's a problem of the system, did anybody else get the same problem?

Answer 7

Why isn't there some sort of "FAQ" that provides a detailed discussion of the options and a how-to?

Because nobody with a question would use it. If someone was going to read that first, they would have typed their question into Google and already had the answer.
