How do I get my computer to type using spanish letters?

Question

How do I get my computer to type using spanish letters? So far my keyboard only types in english and so I get my flashcards wrong. Hep please. My system uses Windows Vista

Answer 1

Since Spanish doesn't have different letters than English, the problem is only the special symbols. On Spanish Dict, usually there is a box with letters and symbols to click on. If you work on Microsoft word you can adjust your language preferences, but you will still need a special keyboard that includes the symbols Hope this helps.

Answer 2

For windows you can use alt codes - a good list is HERE

For those with Apple computers you use accent codes: HERE

For iPods/phones/pads - hold the letter down and an accent menu pops up.

Answer 3

With windows you can also just use insert and search for the symbol (accented letter) that you need.

Answer 4

Here's an article on how to add the international keyboard. It's easy and works fine, though I am having a problem with the ñ on the flashcards all of a sudden.
