How do people type different languages into computer?
- by pecker
Hello,
We have English keyboards. I never saw any other keyboard in my life. I've been wondering for a long time. How do people in Korea, China, Russia, Muslim countries and some European countries where English is less known. Do they have keyboards in their native language? I mean are the keyboard directly manufactured in their native language. Or do they use some kind of keyboard mapping softwares to acheive the task. I've been searching in Google images to have a glance at their computers but didn't find any real key pads for computers/smartphones.
If they have some non-English keyboard. Then how would they type web URLs? URLs possible in other languages also? If they have to type English URLs then it also means that they need to know English.
I've seen in some movies that they have all their softwares, windows have text in their native language. How do they have some different language?
I feel lost & confused.
If you have any screenshots / pics of such non-english computer please post. I want to see one.
