Add keyboard language and layout

In all areas of the PC Pool there is a possibility to use different keyboard languages. The setup must be performed as follows:

Set via Start -> Control Panel -> Date, Time, Language and regional settings -> Regional and language options -> Languages:


lang1


Select "Details...", then you will get to the following screen:


lang2


Click "Add..."


lang3


Under Input locale select the desired language and under Keyboard layout/IME define the corresponding key layout and confirm with OK. On the taskbar (on the taskbar, to the left of the clock), after clicking on "DE", the following selection menu now appears, for example:

lang4

From the list you can choose accordingly between the language layouts you have set up (you can of course set up multiple languages). For some languages (especially Asian), an additional drop-down menu appears on the desktop:


lang6


Moreover, the setting will be saved in your profile i.e. your language selection will be kept after logging in again.
