Khmer Keyboard Labels

Description

Product Description:

The Khmer keyboard labels a reprinted on clear Lexan® so the original key legend shows through; this allows you to add Khmer labels to your existing keyboard so that it becomes a bilingual keyboard (Khmer and the original language of your keyboard). The labels are available in blue letters on clear labels (for beige and light colored keyboards) and white letters on clear labels (for dark colored keyboards). This keyboard label set is compatible with the Windows Vista Khmer keyboard layout. Windows XP, ME, 98 and 95 do not have a Khmer keyboard layout for the Khmer language. You will have to provide the keyboard drivers, fonts, and/or appropriate software to type in Khmer.

Khmer labels are a very economical option for creating a bilingual Khmer keyboard. The language labels use an easy peel-and-stick method to install. They will not damage the original keyboard key. The letters are printed on the underside of the Khmer labels so that the lettering will not wear out. This affords you with many years of durable use.

Product Features:

• Durable labels. Labels are manufactured of durable Lexan®. They won’t tear, crack, discolor, or slip off even after years of use.
• Quality Printing. The printing is on the underside of the label so the INK NEVER WEARS OFF OR SCRATCHES OFF.
• Easy to Apply. The labels are EASY TO APPLY. The labels are printed in the same sequence that they appear on the keyboard regardless of the keyboard’s original language. If necessary, labels can be cut with scissors for special installations.
• Quality Adhesive. The label adhesive firmly attaches the label in place without damaging the keyboard key or the original key legend.
• Removable. If desired, Labels may be removed without causing damage to the original key or the legend on the key.
• Accurate Die-Cutting. Labels are printed with rounded corners so they cover the key top and will not pop off in use.
• Complete Alphanumeric Set. The label sets include labels to cover all of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. The sets do not include the function keys, the control keys, or the numeric keypad.

• Bilingual Keyboard. The clear labels do not interfere with the original characters printed on the key.
• Durable and Flexible. Labels are flexible enough to allow you to feel the touch-typing bumps on the F and J keys.

Check your keyboard to ensure that it is compatible. DataCal bilingual labels have the letters and numbers on the right side of the label. These labels are compatible with keyboards that have the letters printed on the left side of the key. The labels are not compatible with keyboards that have the letter printing in the middle or on the right side of the key top.

Data Callanguage labels are designed to fit desktop and laptop computer keyboards. Laptops with smaller than standard keys may not be compatible with the DataCal label sets.

Instructions for Typing Khmer in Windows The AltGr Key

Many languages include more characters than can be typed on a standard computer keyboard. To solve this problem, additional characters may be assigned to the right AltGr key (the right Alt key) and/or the Shifted AltGr key. In Europe, the right Alt key is referred to as the AltGr key. In the United States, it is merely the right Alt key. It is important to note that the left Alt key cannot be used as the AltGr key.

Characters that require the AltGr key appear to the left in the DataCal labels (see illustration to the left). On the number keys, the AltGr characters are centered at the bottom of the label. Shifted AltGr keys are centered at the top of the label. For alpha keys, the AltGr characters are in the lower left corner of the label. Shifted AltGr characters (if different from the lower case AltGr characters), are centered at the top of the label.

Combination Keys

Many languages that use a complex script method of input, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Punjabi, Hindi, etc., require that you type two or more keys in combination to product certain characters. This system is different from the AltGr deadkey because it does not use the AltGr (i.e., the right Alt key) to produce the characters.

To type the combination characters, first press the key for the first letter in the combination; nothing will display on the screen. Next press the second letter required in the combination. When the combination is complete, it will display on the screen. Languages use more key combinations than can be listed here. The user should experiment with the language setup in Windows to see exactly what is required to produce the necessary characters using the key combinations.
