It is possible to map the language onto the present keyboard if the
student is using a Microsoft system. There are several methods
available: XP versions see below.

Subject: German keyboard on laptop
Hi
A student studying German has asked to be provided with a laptop with a
German keyboard layout. The obvious source would be a German supplier -
but I wonder if anyone has dealt with a similar issue and acquired one
from a UK supplier.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Regards
Peter Hill
