I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, I apologize if not.
I'm curious about how those of you who study languages with different alphabets enter new words into Anki or other computer programs. I would like a way to type in words in Greek and quickly switch back to English (as with Anki you need to enter the words in pairs). Any help would be appreciated. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hmm, I didn't think of the built in one. Forgot it was there actually. Thanks!

Sounds good, but I haven't tested myself yet. /aloysius 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you're using Windows 7 or Vista (should be similar for XP) you need to go to Control
Panel, click on "Clock, Language, and Region" and select "Change keyboards or other input methods." This will open a new window, in it select "Change keyboards..." and in the following window click "Add..." From this menu scroll down to the language of your choice and select the keyboard. This will add it to your list of currently installed keyboards as well adding an icon in the lower right corner of the screen near the system tray. If at any time you want to change keyboards you can simply click the icon (will be "EN" if using an English keyboard) and select the one you wish to use. From the add window you can also select which keyboard you want by default and can also preview it to see which characters correspond to what physical key. One recommendation on mine is that if you need for typing a language such as Italian, Spanish, or German that you use the US-International keyboard layout for the accents and umlauts. When using this you might notice that pressing the apostrophe key to the left of the Enter key (') doesn't do anything. This is because pressing the ' and then a vowel will produce the accented version of the vowel. Similarly with the ~ for ñ. The double quotes (") would be used to make umlauts such as ä. For upside-down question marks and exclamation marks you hold down Alt and press the respective key. If anyone would like more information perhaps I could make a more detailed guide.
