Software to convert my keyboard to polish

Quoting: Eurola

This is simpler than working with Word.

Assuming you work with Windows XP:
1. Control Panel
2. date, Time, language and Regional..
3. add other languages
4. details
5. key settings - choose Polish (Programmers)
6. add - it should put the icon in your task bar
7. click Language bar next to key settings to see if the adding of the icon to the task bar is checked.

It should work. Then type as usual. When you come to a letter that you want it to have a little "thingy" press Alt & Ctr at the same time and voila: śćżź
Make sure that the language bar icon in the task bar is checked for polish"programmers'.
It defaults to English

you don't need to download anything. i guess you work in micro$oft windows. you just have to change settings of the keyboard device (you'll find it in control panel) to Polish (Programmer's) - this one will have all the Polish signs added to the typical US English keyboard layout

Hi Lt Navy! You can get the Polish alphabet at<www.mophy.com> I paid $20 CDN You can get a trial version first and then pay to use it. All you do is press your right ALT key and the letter you wish to use and it will pop up on your computer screen and all you do is double click on the letter and it will "magically" appear! Good luck! This is quick and easy! Małgorzata

Thread attached on merging: DOWNLOAD POLISH KEYBOARD (LETTERS) FOR LAPTOP?? Dzień dobry Proszę pomoc ... Can anyone please tell me if there is a tool available to download the polish alphabet to use as a keyboard? I would use this for occasions such as Skyping my friends in Poland - practicing writing/correct spelling. Dziękuje!

I use Linux with KDE 4.2.3. If that's what you are using, then on the 'classic' menu, go: 1) K-Menu --> System --> System Settings --> Regional & Language --> Keyboard Layout 2) Click on "Enable Keyboard Layouts" 3) Add "Poland" to the list and make sure it is on top using the arrow keys 4) Click on "Apply" 5) "Polish" fonts will be enabled

Start menu -> ustawienia -> opcje regionalne i językowe Click on the "klawiatury i języki" tab Click on "Zmień klawiatury" Click on Dodaj When you added Polish, change "Język Domyslny" to Polish so it will run every time you start the computer That should be all
