  1. Yes.

    Many countries using a different alphabet use keyboards with different keys.  And in Europe where the same alphabet is used, the letter placement is different.  I had to get stickers for my Euro Mac.  


  2. my keyboard:

    ì

    qwertyuiopèé

    asdfghjklòàù

    zxcvbnm

  3. Yes. This varies from only slight differences from the English keyboard (in Germany, we have the three additional letters Ä, Ö and Ü and Z and Y trade places) to very drastic ones. In Japan, their keyboard has the hiragana on it. With the key you write Q with they write た. Well, and in Russia and other countries with Slavic languages, they use a keyboard with the cyrillic letters. In Hungaria, they have over 10 vowels on their keyboard!

  4. Yes they do. In Asian countries, they have Asian syllables. In Russia and many of the Eastern block countries, they have Russian letters. They even have Greek letters in Greece and Arabic syllables in Arab countries.

  5. In Japan and China they do!

  6. Yep, I have standard letters (of course)

    but I also have these: é, è, ì, à, ò, ù

    I'm sure you don't have them :P

  7. Oh yes. Just in this corner of Europe you have AZERTY keyboards in France and Belgium with all the accented letters, QWERTZU in Germany and Austria with the Umlauts, and in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxemburg Swiss German and Swiss French keyboards with the Umlauts or the accents on top.

    For the full list, see :

  8. That depends on the language. With tens of thousands of characters in Japanese, you can not have a keyboard with all those characters on, so their keyboards can use a variety of input methods, those either being kana or roman letters which are converted to kanji as they type.

    In German, our keyboards are differently laid out, as we have umlauts and ß, and as well as that the z and the y are in opposite places. Many of the punctuation as a result of this is organised around the slightly different layout so much of that is found in different places too.


  9. Of course we do. In Arab countries they have their keyboards with both Arabic and English letters.We have totally different letters , we even write from right to left!

  10. they have english and their language. there is a toggle button on the keyboard that allows them to type either in english or say..thai. i had a friend from there who could easily switch between the two.

  11. Yes, here in Iran we have keyboards with both Persian and Latin letters on the keys. We need to type things in Persian too! The same thing happens in all other countries which don't use the Latin alphabet.

  12. Yes, they do. But since most countries use the same alpha bet, or something similar, it most of them are only a little different.

  13. yes

    In japan they have Japanese symbols on their keyboard.

  14. when you intall windows, it gives you options to the lenguage and key board settings

  15. Countries like china do.  the words like "TAB" and "enter" are different in each country so that the citizens know what it is.  Spanish speaking countries have the N regular and the N with the line above it.  same with c (pronounced se) and the "letter" ch pronounced "chay".

  16. we have the same keyboards but they are adjusted. For example we use the cyrillic alphabet and we don't have that "X" letter. On that place we have letter "Џ". It's the same with some others as well.

    The rest of them correspond. f.e. latin "B" coresponds with cyrillic "Б". Latin "G" coresponds with "Г" etc

    i hope i made things a bit clearer

  17. yes.. I have seen two different keyboards,one in french and one in arabic.French one in France and Arabic one in Morocco, but internet cafes have English ones also.

  18. yes, in Venezuela we speak spanish, my keyboard has an "ñ", which american keyboards don't have.

    It also has a key with an accent, so when I need to write any word, I press that key first and then the letter...

    lámpara.... ángel.... etc..

  19. Not to offend you but all letters are the same symbols can be out on a custom keyboard but there is always an regular letter form than calligraphy of a nation.
