Type Foreign Language Characters with an American Keyboard
1,Go to the Control Panel and click on Regional and Language Options.
2,Click the Language tab, and under text services, click "details".
This will open another window with the list of installed and available languages.
3,If you wish, remove the English US keyboard from the list. Highlight it in the list and click Remove.
Alternatively, you can have multiple keyboards installed at once. (For instance, the configuration shown includes Greek and Dvorak keyboards.) For multiple keyboards, you may select the default keyboard of your choice. You may also wish to define a keystroke to switch between the selected keyboards.
4,Click add.
5,Pick the first thing as English (USA). Click on the second one below it and find United States (International).
6,Click OK, and OK and you have it!
7,To use this keyboard, notice that it is similar, with a few differences. For example, when you push the [`] button (next to the one) it just makes a backtick [`]. However, if you press [`] and then a vowel (for example o) it will produce ò. Typing
[`] and [o] makes ò
['] and [o] makes ó
8,Find more options by pressing SHIFT:
The [~],[^], and ["] also function as accent keys.
[~] and [o] makes õ (~ is also used for Spanish ñ or Portuguese ã)
[^] and [o] makes ô
["] and [o] makes ö
9,Learn to use Alt-Gr. On this keyboard layout, Alt-Gr this takes the place of the Alt key on the right side. Alt is short for "alternative". Press it to get the following keyboard layout:
10,Optional: If you still want to do other unicode characters like ţ, ş, ă, ą, ł, or ☏, ☼, ♂, etc. Install the free software JLG Extended Keyboard Layout then redo the steps above, except that instead of choosing the US International keyboard layout, you choose the US (JLGv11) keyboard. More than 1000 unicode character are made available in this layer.

Note:Some languages still don't have very good software support. Asian languages and Indian languages typically require certain fonts to be installed.
Right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, may display poorly in some circumstances, and may not coexist well in the same page or document as left-to-right languages.

As you can see, this keyboard layout incorporates most letters used for west European languages, including French, Spanish, German, Danish, Old English, Swedish, Portuguese, and others. You can also type world Currency symbols like Euro (€), Yen (¥), and the generic World currency symbol (¤).
These accent adder button things are quite useful, but remember if you want to type just a ["] you will have to press the space bar after it so it is not combined with the next letter (example "At" vs. Ät").
If you are missing other keys you will need to learn the alt+ code for the letter(s), buy a foreign keyboard, or download the Microsoft custom keyboard layout maker from the developers site. To use an alt code, hold down Alt while typing a number. For instance, Alt+165 produces ñ.
If you want to type in a language that is composed of all non-English characters, such as Greek or Russian, it is best to install that keyboard and, if you wish, choose a keystroke to switch between English and that other language.
