Basque (Spanish) Keyboard Labels

Description

Product Description:

The Spanish (Traditional Sort) label uses the Spanish keyboard layout (as used in Spain) in Windows. The labels are printed on clear Lexan® so the original key legend shows through;this allows you to add Spanish labels to your existing keyboard so that it becomes a bilingual keyboard (Spanish (Traditional Sort) 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 language is also available in opaque labels (white letters on black background) that will convert a keyboard to a Spanish only keyboard.

This label supports keyboard layouts for Spanish (Traditional Sort), Spanish (International Sort),Basque, Catalan, and Galician. This language issupported in Windows 7, Vista, XP, ME, 98, and 95; if a version of Windows does nothave a Spanish language, the user can select the Spanish (Traditional) keyboardlayout.

Spanish labels are a very economical option for creating a bilingual Spanish 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 Spanish labels so that the lettering will not wearout. 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 keytop 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.

Instructions for Typing Spanish in Windows

Deadkeys

The Spanish keyboard layout uses a systemof deadkeys (highlighted in yellow below) to type certain accented characters.To use the deadkey system, first type the deadkey; nothing will appear on thescreen. Next, type the key (generally a vowel) that you wish to combine with thedeadkey. You should then see the accented character that you want on the screen.If you press a deadkey and then a press a key that does not go with that accent(such as pressing an accent and the number “2”), nothing happens; theaccent deadkey must be correct to work. Depending upon the language, deadkeyswork with both unshifted and shifted keys.

The AltGr Key

Many languages include more characters than canbe typed on a standard computer keyboard. To solve this problem, additionalcharacters may be assigned to the right AltGr key (the right Alt key) and/or theShifted 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 notethat the left Alt key cannot be used as the AltGr key.

Characters that require the AltGr key appear to theleft 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 keysare centered at the top of the label. For alpha keys, the AltGr characters arein the lower left corner of the label. Shifted AltGr characters (if differentfrom the lower case AltGr characters), are centered at the top of the label.

The 102 Style Keyboard

This language uses the European style 102 keyboard layout. This keyboard layout features a key in the lower left corner ofthe keyboard (next to the US English “Z” key) that is not found on standard US 101 keyboards. If you are using a standard US 101 keyboard, you willnot be able to use this label. If you are using the US 101 style keyboard and wish to type the characters on the 102 key, you will have to switch back to English to be able to type these characters or use the Alt key input method.

To use the Alt key input method, hold down theAlt key on the keyboard and press the numbers indicated below for the desiredcharacter on the numeric keypad (note that the system only works with the numeric keypad; it does not work with the number row across the top of thekeyboard).

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., theright 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 thescreen. Next press the second letter required in the combination. When thecombination 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.
