~~ CHANGING YOUR SETTINGS ~~
| |
| Go to: Control Panel
/ Regional & Language Options
Click Languages, then Details
In the area called "selected service",
add "English (US) United States-International".
(You may optionaly set that selection
as your default input language)

| Go to: Control Panel / Keyboard /
Language
In the window are displayed your current
keyboard settings
(in Hong Kong, the common default is:
English (United States) / Layout:
United States 101
Consider then one of the following two options:
|
| a)
Add a new keyboard layout, keeping
your usual settings as a default |
| Choose :
Add_Portughese Brazilian / Properties_Portuguese
(Brazilian Standard)
Now you can at any time switch the language
by pushing Alt+Shift
|
| b)
Having only one keyboard layout
using
language 'English (United States)' |
| Click Properties and change your keyboard
layout to:
'English United States-International'
With this setting enabled, you may type
either in French or in English, without
switching language.
However, to get the apostroph, you will
have to type '

don't feel confortable with this, just choose
