!Y que viva el amor!
I know I know it would be an upside down exclamation point but I don't have a spanish keyboard installed (can somebody recommend where tog et one?). Anyways, the 3 translations don't amke good sense for this.
I think it means something like And what a life of love?

In a seperate box just below the boxes where you either ask or answer a question, you have the most common spanish letters required, including the one you require.
Long live love!
Literally it means 'and let love live!' or as Annie has put below 'long live love' is a good translation. Remember that 'que' is often used to begin a sentence to show a desire and is equivalent to 'may' or 'let'. Qué with an accent means 'what'?
Sometimes you can type Spanish characters, accents etc by typing in a code - this article has some tips that might work for you.
One of our members, Vikingo, created his own small computer programme for making all the Spanish accented letters, inverted question marks (¿), and inverted exclamation marks (¡) and other characters. I understand the program works on desktop computers. It also works on laptop computers using Windows as an operationg system.
Here is what Vikingo had to say about his programme:
Run this ... . Vikingo's "Spanish.exe" You'll have your characters available within 10 seconds from clicking the link. It doesn't require any slideshows or instructional videos, though there is a help screen that pops up when the program starts. Type your Spanish letters by using the windows key + the letter in question (like win+e for é, or win+q for ¿), or press ctrl+space for a menu where you can choose all kinds of international characters. So ctrl+space and then x will give you ¡.
Here is the "Windows" key Vikingo refers to. On a windows keyboard, it is located to the left (and sometimes also to the right) of the spacebar. It is the key between " Ctrl" and "Alt".
I have used it for several years. It is simple and easy and I've added it to my startup list so it is seamlessly in place every time I re-start my computer. Pay attention to the opening prompt which asks if you want to use the shortcut keys. Read over the very brief instructions and perhaps make a note of them for your first couple of times you use them. After that it is a real "piece of cake".

If you want to use this program, remember to 'Save' it to your computer and not to just 'Run' it when the 'File Download' window is opened.
If you wish to look at alternatives, SpanishDict has a reference page with instructions for setting up your keyboard. That reference page is here ----> How to Type Spanish Characters
As Eddy says, right below this box where I am typing my answer there is a small box of Spanish characters. Just click on the character you want and it appears in your writing...like this....
¿ ¡ á é í ó ú ü ñ
Easy as pie!
