Quoting justinetime

i have vista, and i just change back and forth from english to turkish keyboard... i changed it from control panel...

 

yes, I know that way,I do the same now

but I was wondering if that program works, it is much more simple and easy, without switching anything.

 

thank you!

Hi all

 

Does anyone know if this was ever updated to use on windows vista?  I´ve been switching between languages from the control panel when I want to type Turkish letters, but I find it very difficult to use this way as the letters are in completely different places when I do.  This sounds so simple to use, I would love something like this as it would make things so much easier

 I hope that it has been updated for my own sanity lol. I also have windows vista which means switching between languages. I have no idea then where any of the standard letters are as the order completley chages and it takes me about 10 minutes to even type a word lol.  I have also noticed that I am learning words wrong as I am getting used to typing them with English letters and when I come to say them I say it like I was typing it. 

 

I was also obviously in a stupid mood when I made my userame with Turkish characters as even signing in is a hassle

lol, oh thank god I´m not the only one suffering this, it takes me forever to type anything when I switch keyboard languages!!  And yea I´m the same, because I´m writing the words without the Turkish letters I sometimes pronounce them the way I remember typing them, and my pronunciation is bad enuf as it is haha

 

Tis a nice username tho, unlike my very boring 1 haha, and I think you can probably scroll through the usernames that pop up when you put the 1st letter of your username, save ya the hassle of trying to put in Turkish letters haha Wink

Ally - why don´t you use Turkish letters at the bottom of the the page that you can see under the ´send´ and ´clear´ buttons when you post something?   Obviously this doesn´t help you if you are not typing in TC but for here its easier than swapping keyboards!

i know 1 even more easyer way - get used to typing turkish, then swapping keyboard languages won´t be a trouble at all. i typed in to my pc every note we took in turkish lectures and every homework we had to do, all 3 terms in uni, and after about 2 months i started to KNOW where is which turkish letter located, no trouble at all to find the correct one, although i can´t "see" them on my keyboard. just write turkish, a lot, and it sort of comes to your hands and you can swap keyboard and write turkish fast and easy with your eyes closed. i prefer to switch language on my pc to any other method coz it´s FAST AND EASY. get used to it.

I don´t have any problems at all with swapping from one to the other actually - but maybe it helps that I can touch type and that the Turkish characters (apart from ´i´ don´t actually replace any English letters - only punctuation keys - so it´s easy for me to remember where they are.

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

 Yea no I do use the letters here, I never swap keyboards for TC, and actually a lot of the time I copy and paste from here so I can use the Turkish letters, it´s far less laborious than having to learn (blindly!!) to type all over again! haha.  It´s great that TC has this facility, as some other websites don´t

Hey cool, well done you, unfortunately for me I don´t know if I have the time, patience and brain power left to try teach myself to type all over again as well as to teach myself Turkish lol, I´m a mummy of four ´darling´ children, two of whom are 2yr old twins... terrible twos x 2!! trust me it´s even worse than it sounds haha... But I might just try and give it a go, sure it will be another thing to help stop my brain turning to mush after countless hours of ´what does the cow say, what does the dog say etc. haha

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