please help me , how are you able to type i hebrew? do you have to have hebrew stickers on your keyboard? what do you click to change the language??
left alt shift together
deiyezooger. You also have to select “Hebrew”, when the dialogue box comes up.
You have to add hebrew as a language on your computer and then switch between keyboards.
1) go to control panel
2) go to regional and language options
3) press on the language tab
4) under keyboard press add
5) select hebrew with a hebrew keyboard
you press left alt and left shift to switch between keyboard languages
If you don’t have a hebrew keyboard/stickers, you can use the on screen keyboard as a guide.
I hope this helps 🙂
I didnt like sites like the one poppa uses cos you cant click on the letters on the screen, but you must keep looking up to the screen to find which key to press then down to your keyboard for every letter. Other sites eg http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/pickers/hebrew/
have the hebrew alphabet onscreen and you simply click on the letters. I find this far easier. This is the best method when the computer you are using is not yours so you dont want to change the settings as mentioned in an earlier post. And if you save the address of the hebrew site to your emails then you can access it wherever you are.
Shticky Guy; What I did (In additin to all the functions to reach the Hebrew language app.) is, download a Hebrew keyboard (from one of the multiple sites by that name) and print it out.
In Vista I have tried to add Hebrew, but it says you need to install additional language packs, and goes into a long megillah. I once spent some time trying to download, but eventually gave up. Anybody who can enlighten, please do so.
i dont know how to type in hebrew on cr!
Do the same thing as when you type in Hebrew outside the cr.
I actually tried posting a different site, but my post wasn’t approved so I posted the internal link to YWN which always gets approved. I personally only use computers with Hebrew installed and stickers affixed, so I have no opinion on which is better,
Pashuteh, you shouldn’t have to install a language pack
I only know how to do it on windows 7, because that’s what im using. Try to use these steps and see if they work.
On windows 7
1) go to control panel
2) press on clock, language, and region
3) press on region and language
4) press on the keyboard and languages tab
5) press change keyboards
6) under installed services, press add
7) select hebrew and under keyboard select hebrew and press ok
* make sure the default input language is english, otherwise everthing will authomatically be hebrew.
* to change b/w languages press left alt+shift
* if you want to type hebrew and you don’t have a hebrew keyboard access the onscreen keyboard (you can click on the letters on the screen or uses the regular keyboard to type hebrew letters.
This question has been addressed in several threads.
This post, and the URL within it that points to illustrated step-by-step direction for installing Hebrew on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7, is the most helpful:
