Turkish Keyboard - Configuration

In this page, we will talk about how to add the Turkish keyboard to your computer running Windows and how to utilize this new keyboard layout. There are six letters in the Turkish alphabet that are not in the English alphabet, namely 'ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü'. For writing these letters without going into the hassle of using the alt codes or copy-pasting from some other location, you can simply add the Turkish keyboard layout to your Windows computer system. Using the same keyboard, the layout will change a little to let you allow to type the Turkish letters.
