International keyboard input

This is not really a problem, just wierd.
I have my computer set up for multiple languages for keyboard input. This works great for the most part, but occaisonally changes input langauge randomly.
I have only been using the standard American English method for some time, but it has recently switched to French, and U.S. Extended. This use to happen before when I switched back and forth. Sometimes an application would be using a different language than the O.S. Sometimes it would switch into Greeek, which I use very rarely.
On my last reboot, I found with a French Keyboard.
Is there any reason for this? Does this make any sense?

I need to use Bulgarian language. Whether be supported Bulgarian language in the future.

  • International Keyboard (Input Menu) Oddities

    Hi,
    Well this has to be unique, I live in Switzerland and have a iMac Intel with a Swiss keyboard, my system language is English and the input menu is set to Swiss German, everything works fine.
    Now, my daughters have their system language set to German and naturally their input menu also set to Swiss German. But here the keys are mapped as the German keyboard which is quite different and annoying for them.
    A bug?
    Regards
    Ian
    iMac Intel 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    There is some sort of bug with the keyboard
    switching
    unfortunately.
    To bad Do you think anyone has filed a bug
    report?
    Yes. I have. Apple suggested to close it when Tiger came out, but I showed them evidence that the problem still existed.
    My favourite remedy is to disable the keyboards
    one
    by one in System Preferences > International and
    then
    to enable them again. You don't even have to close
    the System Preferences.
    Try it. It is done quickly and doesn't hurt.
    Does not seem to help in my case, ufortunately... Any
    other ideas? Also, do you happen to know where
    exactly the International config is stored? I'm
    thinking that perhaps I can at least trick it to have
    only one input source enabled if I edit "by hand".
    I wouldn't recommend editing things by hand, unless you create a special test account to experiment on. However, the easiest way to tell in which file(s) preferences are saved is to open ~/Library/Preferences in a list view and order by date. Make a modification to your preferences, and you will see the newest one pop up to the top (or bottom) of the list almost instantaneously.

  • What input source for english (international)" keyboard?

    I have a new MacBook Pro 15" with an english (International) keyboard layout. I can't find any input source that matches my keyboard layout in System Preferences > Language & Text > Input sources. US layout is close, but which one exactly matches my keyboard?

    You should use US, US Extended, or US International PC.  They should all match your keyboard.
    I am puzzled that you find the US layout to be just "close".  What is not correct when you use it?

  • How to have same keyboards input source in Mac and Windows???

    I use Canadian French-CSA on my Mac keyboards input source. Using Windows 7, I can't find the good setting for my keyboards to be the same when I it keys.
    I run Windows over Parallels Desktop
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you

    Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
    Yes.
    and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
    The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
    and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
    If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
    Or is there another Airport base station?
    The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
    OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
    That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

  • 'Zero-width Non-Joiner' Unicode Control Character for Xperia International Keyboard in Persian

    I use Xperia International Keyboard in Persian (Farsi) on my Xperia Z3 Comapct. I really like its Gesture input for Persian. On the other hand I like Google Keyboard for Persian for its 'Zero-width Non-Joiner' Unicode Control Character key.This character is used in Persian as a non-breaking space or "نیم‌فاصله". But Google keyboard lacks gesture input for Persian. I would like it like very much If there is a ZWNJ (U+200C) key on next updates of Xperia International Keyboard for Persian. It would be perfect if it also have Arabic Decimal Separator (٫) (U+066B) and Arabic Thousand Separator (٬) (U+066C).

    This is a user led support forum however what I can do is message the team to take a look at your post and then they will be able to escalate this to the correct team - So if you don't receive a reply from a Sony staff member please be reassured that they will have read your post

  • Firefox not responding to keyboard input

    I'm having issues with Firefox temporarily no longer responding to keyboard input.
    I have two machines, both running Windows 7. On my laptop, I never have any issues but on my desktop, I find that Firefox sometimes blocks keyboard input. It will allow me to enter one character in any text field, and no more. Any further input is ignored. This applies to the address bar, the search box and any text fields in the displayed web page, in any tab. All keyboard navigation seems to also be ignored.
    I've tried Reset Firefox and Safe Mode, they don't appear to change anything. I've also tried uninstalling Synergy and changing from my regular English-International keyboard layout to US English, but this still seems to occur. I am also running Workrave which can interrupt keyboard input, but since I can add 1 character, I suspect that Workrave is not the problem.
    Sometimes it can seemingly be unblocked by pressing Start+F9, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, restarting firefox or opening a new tab, but this seems to only be a temporary solution, the problem soon reoccurs. This bug has been present for some time, I first noticed it in v28 (although it may be even older), I am currently using v31.
    One thing I've noticed is that it never occurs until after my screen has been locked at least once.
    The trouble-shooting information attached will not be entirely accurate because I'm using my laptop to type this - Firefox is not accepting keyboard input right now on my desktop! However, the two environments are similar.
    Thanks, Tadhg

    Some have reported that pressing F9 and the Windows key simultaneously one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

  • International Keyboard in US 1.1.1 Missing??

    Being the research-driven Mac user I am, I am aware that UK iPhone update 1.1.1 includes an international keyboard. Having updated my own iPhone here in the states, I can't find any International Settings.
    Are International Settings specifically excluded from US iPhones?? (If so, WHY?!) How does one go about adding/activating International Settings & Keyboards to one's iPhone?
    There are plenty of us here in the states that don't speak English exclusively. =)
    ありがとう、

    sorry for the delay in replying.
    this is my method for Japanese input:
    safari
    www.alc.co.jp
    (you will see a long text input box, site is all Japanese but it is near the top)
    tap select text box
    tap-type: test
    let tap go or tap the kanji button for translate
    let page fully load
    Then tap select text box, it will have the word "test" on it
    Then your keyboard will come up but this time it has a rectangle above the slightly smaller keyboard.
    tap-type: W
    You'll see W, kana for watashi, kanji for watashi, select one of the options and it will hover then input the kanji/kana/w into the text box.
    Then go to gOffice for iPhone and type a Japanese .doc then email it or go to your gmail account or anyonline account and type full Japanese emails to your hearts content.
    pushing the home button to go to another app will cancel this keyboard. However it you save the "test" result in your bookmarks then just reload, tap highlight the box and you have on Safari a full Japanese keyboard. It might work for other asian languages.
    I have fotos but let me know if this works I can at will use this solution.

  • Keyboard input changed to wrong language

    I'm using a dual g5 desktop running tiger 10.4.4. This morning all keyboard input is in the wrong language. It's greek or one of the symbol fonts. According to the setings in the international panel everything should be set to US English, roman script. I know that CMD+space used to toggle between input choices but that now brings up Spotlight. Is another key combination that toggles the languages? Other settings to check? It's interesting that the input menu tab of the international pane still says use CMD+space to toggle inputs, but that no longer works.
    Help? thanks

    According to the setings in the international panel
    everything should be set to US English, roman
    script.
    The setting that matters is system preferences/international/input menu (not languages). Also make sure you have the box checked for "show input menu in finder," so you can see what keyboard layout is active in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.

  • Keyboard input errors

    I have lost all reliable keyboard input to my G4 powerbook running on OSX 10.4. I have been able to run Tech Tool, Disk Repair and Repair Permissions. I don't have another users account and without the necessary input, I cannot sign-in as another user.
    In all areas where text can be typed in, Text Edit, Apple Works, Authentication etc., if I get anything it is not close to the keystroke.
    I show over 37gb available on a 80gb hard drive.

    Hi, Melvin. If your keyboard is typing a lot of numerals instead of letters, press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn off Num Lock.
    If that's not the problem, connect a USB keyboard to the Powerbook and see whether it misbehaves in the same way. If it does, there's a software glitch behind the problem. To confirm that, boot to a CD or DVD. If the problem disappears, software on your hard drive is definitely at fault. In that case, while booted to the CD, run the Repair Disk and Repair Permissions functions of Disk Utility to square things away on the internal HD. Failing that, an Archive and Install of OS X should put things right.
    If a USB keyboard behaves properly when connected, your built-in keyboard or its connection to the main logic board has gone bad. To determine which it is, release the keyboard, flip it over onto your Tibook's wrist rests, and gently disconnect its ribbon cable from the logic board, then reconnect it. Put the keyboard back and test again. If the problem persists, replace the keyboard.

  • Diacritical marks for International Keyboard configurations

    So where are the accents (igrecs and igravs) for French? Also how can you download other International keyboards? And if you can, will they be missing diacritical marks above words too; such as the fáda for Irish?

    Hmm I just wanted the Irish keyboard to put a fáda over the vowels.
    You don't need any special keyboard to do that. áéíóú are available on the iPod Touch by holding down the base letter. A menu of accented versions of the base letter then appears which you can choose from.
    Anyway my cousin said the unicode for the french igrecs and igravs is probably different anyway so they wouldn't work as a substitute.
    French would work fine. The diacritics are exactly the same in Unicode.
    I was just curious if Apple has support for international keyboards.
    Yes, the full OS X has dozens of keyboard layouts.
    But I guess what the iPod touch has on it is very rudimentary so it wouldn't bother with most keyboards. I'm not even sure if I saw Korean on it. It seemed to only have Japanese.
    Because of the method the iPod Touch uses (i.e. an extra menu of variations for each character), there's no need for a lot of keyboards to cover a lot of languages. But it is still limited to W. European, E. European, and Japanese at this time. Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Chinese, Indic, Thai, Vietnamese, and various other languages cannot yet be input.

  • [SOLVED] No internal keyboard on LG R400 while and after installing

    Hi,
    I just tried to install Arch 64bit on this machine and everything works as expected - besides the internal keyboard, I had to use an external USB-keyboard to do the install and after install and playing with different HOOKS in the mkcpinitio.conf I still can't get it working.
    This is strange because I did install Arch on that machine about 2 years ago and the internal keyboard was working. I did try an old backup and the keyboard is working with an Arch from 2011.
    Since there is also no mention about such problems on the R400-wiki I'm running out of ideas. The keyboard controller seems to be i8042 and according to /dev/input/by-path/ seems to be loaded ok and linked to event0.
    platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd -> ../event0
    I already tried to append the options
    i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset
    at boot time but keyboard remains dead.
    Any pointers where to look or what to try? Maybe an older kernel?
    TIA,
    Heinz

    After trying various things this seems to be related to the 3.9.x kernel.
    The only solutions I found for now is to install a 3.8.x kernel and IgnorePkg linux and linux-headers. With this internal keyboard is ok.
    Since this seems to be an upstream bug introduced with 3.9 kernel I mark this thread as solved.

  • TS3280 How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?

    How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
    This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

    You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
    I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

  • HELP! Internal Keyboard doesn't work

    I had my macbook pro 6 months ago, and one month ago I plugged in an imac keyboard for using adobe illustrator and photoshop. When I unplugged the external keyboard the internal keyboard of the macbook pro stopped functioning. The commands buttons, letters, enter, and many other keys except for the expose and the top keys. I tried everything and nothing seems to fix it.
    please help !!!!

    Hi matrance,
    have you tried:
    1) resetting the PRAM (hold down the command option p r keys while starting up the computer. Wait until the chimes sound at least twice )
    or
    2) resetting the SMC ( see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 )
    If neither of these fix the problem then it is probably a hardware issue. If the computer is only 6 months old it will still be covered by warranty for hardware repairs, so take it to an Apple dealer if possible.
    Cheers
    Rod
