Hey everyone. I just downloaded Anki and I'm building up a deck for Spanish and I'm having trouble getting accents on my words. I looked at the FAQ's and couldn't figure it out. I'm able to get accent marks in Word so I don't think it's my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

I haven't had that problem at all, I've been able to put Spanish and Chinese words in no problem.
Have you googled it? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you're using a mac, I've also been having trouble with accented characters. Have you tried copying things directly from Word into Anki? That may work if direct input doesn't.

Yes, I've googled it. And I am able to copy and paste from Word but that adds a lot of work. I'm using Windows Vista.

I'm on Windows 7 and it works fine...
Maybe try uninstalling it and reinstalling it? it says that it comes with built in support for foreign characters. What keyboard layout are you using (just curious)? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm not sure what you mean by keyboard layout, but I have a fairly new HP keyboard and I use the alt+ctrl+' to get accents. I am planning on programming my keyboard to make it easier but I haven't done it yet. Think that would work?

I recommend you change your layout to either English-International (my preference) or one of the Spanish variants, so you can type accented and other letters (áßé®þú³¤€¼½¡) easily. With the English-International layout you can access more characters (including ones you'd need for Spanish and most other alphabets using the Latin alphabet) by holding the right "alt" key and pressing a key. The dead keys take a while to get used to though. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you! I'm set up for United States-International now and anki will accept it. I appreciate the help. 1 person has voted this message useful |
