Go to Control Panel Select Regional and Language Settings. Navigate to the Languages Tab. (You may wish to observe the "Supplemental Language Support" section if you need right to left or East Asian languages.) Click on Details Make sure you are on the Settings Tab. Make sure your Default input Language is correct. Click on the "Add" button which will bring up the "Add Language" dialog. Click on the Input Language list box, and very carefully make your selection. I say "very carefully" because with some languages there are special choices - for example there are about 6 German variations. Don't worry at this point about other items in the dialog that may come up. Click OK. Now here the next trick to watch. Click "Apply" and then click on "Key Settings". Hopefully the dialog is fairly intuitive, but here you can actually apply special keyboard commands to switch to a specific language. Highlight the language in the list and click on "Change Key Sequence". You can now enable a key sequence, selecting either CTRL or Left Alt, followed by Shift, and then a choice of numbers 0 through 9. Hopefully by using a number on the top row, you will be less likely to accidentally change using Alt + Shift. Hope this helps all the linguists here. George. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Diaz Russell Sent: 30 March 2007 14:56 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: keyboard languages Dear Marie, In my case, I can only change between US and British English. I cannot access French, Spanish nor German and they are all in the word recognition language box. Cheers, Andrew.----- Original Message ----- From: "Marie BAISEZ" <marie.baisez@xxxxxxxxxx>

Alt+shift will cycle through all the languages you have
installed in Windows
and or Word and will change the configuration of your
keyboard accordingly,
I use this all the time, it works very well. It beats trying to find the accents in the list of symbols
when you write in
a language which require them, hands down.
