Example
In Hungarian, for example, you would have to input these characters as follows:
• őŐűŰ (O double-acute, U double-acute) via the Character Map
• öÖüÜ directly
• áÁéÉíÍóÓúÚ compound input
3.4.1 Concept of the keyboard language
Windows manages pairs for the keyboard consisting of "Language ("Language and Region
Support")" and "Keyboard assignment". The set keyboard language determines which
language property is assigned to the characters entered. The associated keyboard
assignment will determine which key produces which character.
Several such settings can be set up and it is possible to switch between them. One of the
settings is defined as the default setting.
Windows uses the term "Language and Region Support" as this can be used not only to
switch the language properties, but also to select settings such as currency, date format etc.
3.4.2 Setting up a keyboard assignment in Windows XP
Proceed as follows to select a new keyboard assignment:
1. From the Start menu, select "Settings" → "Control Panel" and click "Regional and
Language Options".
2. Click the "Languages" tab and click the button "Details..." under the heading "Text
Services and Input Languages".
If a symbol such as DE is displayed in the right-hand taskbar, you can also right-click this
symbol and select the command "Properties..." to speed up steps 1 and 2.
3. The dialog box "Text Services and Input Languages" is opened. Select the "Settings" tab.
