Hello,

I am speaking german and am planning to buy a notebook in Malaysia, but of course all of them have US layout here.

Does anyone of you have experiences how to enable special characters (in my case, I'll need german Umlauts) on such keyboards? Are there special programs for that, is is possible to additionally assign such characters to keys with Alt-Gr combinations or so?

Thanks for any tip
Pepe
