Specifications
The French keyboard labels conform to the French (France) keyboard layout in Windows XP. The labels are printed on clear Lexan® so the original key legend shows through; this allows you to have a bilingual keyboard by adding this language to your existing keyboard. The labels are available in blue letters on clear labels (for beige and light colored keyboards) and white letters on clear labels (for dark colored keyboards). This label supports the keyboard layouts for: French (France), French (Luxembourg), and French (Monaco). This language is supported in Windows Vista, XP, ME, 98, and 95.
Because Luxembourg and Monaco use the standard French keyboard layout, they are supported in all versions of Windows that support French (France); if a version of Windows does not include the French (Luxembourg) or the French (Monaco) language, you can simply select the French (French) keyboard layout.
We also have French Canadian, and French Belgian keyboard labels.
French labels are a very economical option for creating a bilingual French keyboard. The language labels use an easy peel-and-stick method to install. They will not damage the original keyboard key. The letters are printed on the underside of the labels so that the lettering will not wear off. The labels are designed to provide many years of durable use.
DataCal language labels are designed to fit desktop and laptop computer keyboards. Laptops with smaller than standard keys may not be compatible with the DataCal label sets.
Label size: 7/16" w X 9/16" H (11mm W X 14mm H)

Check your keyboard to ensure that it is compatible. DataCal bilingual labels have the letters and numbers on the right side of the label. These labels are compatible with keyboards that have the letters printed on the left side of the key. The labels are not compatible with keyboards that have the letter printing in the middle or on the right side of the key top. |

Setup instructions for Windows VistaInstructions for Typing French in Windows
DeadkeysThe French (France) keyboard layout uses a
system of deadkeys (highlighted in yellow below) to type certain accented
characters. To use the deadkey system, first type the deadkey; nothing will
appear on the screen. Next, type the key (generally a vowel) that you wish to
combine with the deadkey. You should then see the accented character that you
want on the screen. If you press a deadkey and then a press a key that does not
go with that accent (such as pressing an accent and the number "2"),
nothing happens; the accent deadkey must be correct to work. Depending upon the
language, deadkeys work with both unshifted and shifted keys.
The AltGr Key
Many languages include more characters than can be typed on a standard computer keyboard. To solve this problem, additional characters may be assigned to the right AltGr key (the right Alt key) and/or the Shifted AltGr key. In Europe, the right Alt key is referred to as the AltGr key. In the United States, it is merely the right Alt key. It is important to note that the left Alt key cannot be used as the AltGr key.
The 102 Style Keyboard
This language uses the European style 102 keyboard layout. This keyboard layout features a key in the lower left corner of the keyboard that is not found on standard US 101 keyboards. If you are using a standard US 101 keyboard, you will not be able to use this label. If you are using the US 101 style keyboard and wish to type the characters on the 102 key, you will have to switch back to English to be able to type these characters or use the Alt key input method.
To use the Alt key input method, hold down the Alt key on the keyboard and press the numbers indicated below for the desired character on the numeric keypad (note that the system only works with the numeric keypad; it does not work with the number row across the top of the keyboard).
| Character to type | Alt Key Sequence |
| > | Alt + 062 |
| < | Alt+060 |
| | | Alt+0124 |
Combination Keys
Many languages that use a complex script method of input, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Punjabi, Hindi, etc., require that you type two or more keys in combination to product certain characters. This system is different from the AltGr deadkey because it does not use the AltGr (i.e., the right Alt key) to produce the characters.
To type the combination characters, first press the key for the first letter in the combination; nothing will display on the screen. Next press the second letter required in the combination. When the combination is complete, it will display on the screen. Languages use more key combinations than can be listed here. The user should experiment with the language setup in Windows to see exactly what is required to produce the necessary characters using the key combinations.
