Change the Language of a Laptop Keyboard
Changing the language or layout of a computer keyboard may be necessary when the characters printed on the keys do not match the language being used.
Some languages use specific letters, accents or symbols, such as é, è, à and ç in French, ñ in Spanish, or ä, ö and ü in German. When these characters are not printed on the original keyboard, typing can become less intuitive.
Adapt the Keyboard Layout: AZERTY, QWERTY and QWERTZ
The physical layout of the keys also varies depending on the language and country. Common layouts include AZERTY for French, QWERTY in many English-speaking countries and QWERTZ notably for German.
When the language configured in the operating system does not match the characters printed on the keyboard, the keys no longer correspond to what appears on the screen.
Installing suitable keyboard stickers makes it possible to visually match the keys to the language and layout being used without replacing the keyboard.
Add a Second Language to Your Keyboard
Some people use several languages on the same computer every day, including international professionals, translators, students and multilingual users.
In this situation, it can be useful to keep the original keyboard characters while adding those of a second language.
Bilingual keyboard stickers can, for example, display both French AZERTY and English QWERTY references on the same keyboard. This makes it easier to switch between languages while keeping the required characters visible directly on the keys.
Adapt the Keyboard of a Laptop Purchased Abroad
Buying a laptop abroad can provide access to specific models, configurations or attractive prices. However, the computer will generally come with a keyboard designed for the country in which it was originally sold.
A laptop purchased with a QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboard may therefore be less convenient when used every day in French or another language.
Replacing the entire keyboard or individual keys can be complicated and expensive. Keyboard stickers provide a simple way to visually adapt the keys to the required language while keeping the original keyboard.
We offer a wide range of configurations, including French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and many other languages.
