I agree. If you type enough notes and messages in Turkish you will very quickly remember where all the extra Turkish letters are located. It didn´t take me that long, and you can leave a reference sheet nearby whilst you learn the layout. Smile 

 

 

 Henry, did you write out the refrence sheet yourself?  Or is there somewhere you can print off a version?

Hi Ally, the Turkish keyboard layout I used is basically the same as the qwerty style English one, with the i replaced by ı and the letters on buttons after p being ğ ü and the comma,

and the next row has ş and i after the l

and the bottom row after m is ö ç and the full stop.

I made my own template on a piece of paper and left it just above the keyboard until I was familiar with the Turkish layout.

You are using the same as me Henry - and the ´comma´ comes after the ş and i not the ğ and ü. Also don´t forget this format means that the question mark moves to where the dash ( - ) is on the English keyboard.

 Oh right thanks henry, mine is completely different so, all my letters completely swap places when I change over, so I have to relearn where they all are, it´s a total pain {#emotions_dlg.head_bang}

No, my computer is a ´mac´ so the layout must be slightly different to yours. The nice part is that it only takes 2 clicks on the toolbar up top to change the layout.

I added my Turkish Keyboard in Windows, Regional Language options displayed the language bar so I can flip between, really handy for MSN, email etc & have put little stickers on the keys with the Turkish letters i use most.

 

I am so happy & can write proper Turkish to my friends

I don´t know where you are Pablahol, but if you normally use a Windows English (UK) keyboard then the alternative layout I have written extends that without having to remember where the Turkish characters are - they are simply accessed by holding down Alt Gr at the same time.

 

If you want to try this keyboard layout it is free to download from:

http://www.boddison.com/turkish/

You must extract the ZIP file before attempting to install the keyboard layout.
