pardon my use of english…but for all of you who want to type yiddish in the proper way…here is a guide. this is for windows users only…i dont know mac…but here goes.
start>control panel (please be sure to be in classic view in the control panel for this…you can find classic view on the top left of the control panel window)>regional and language options> heres where it splits up.
for windows xp in the window that opens up select the languages tab. in the bottom half of the window that opens..select the first check box to install hebrew on your computer. you will need a windows xp disc to install hebrew. after you have done that, (or if you already had hebrew installed) select the details button on th etop half of the window. toward the bottom right of the window that opens click add. scroll down in the menu that appears and select hebrew, click ok then click apply. you may now close all those windows. to switch between hebrew and english on your keyboard press alt and shift (on the left side of the keyboard).
heres for vista…in the window that opens up…select the keyboards and languages tab. click change keyboards. once again select add scrool down to hebrew and click the little “+” sign to the left. select the next “+” and then check the box that says hebrew. click ok…then apply, and once agian to switch between languages press alt and shift on the left side.
for windows 7 in the control panel under the “clock language and region” section, click the “change keyboards or other input methods” link. from here its the same as vista.
