Typing in non-Roman languages

Learning to type in a non-Roman language?

Keyboard covers for selected languages are now available for check-out at the Davis Library Reference Desk during regular Reference Desk hours.

We have one cover for each of the following language layouts:

The covers are made of flexible molded urethane and fit loosely and manageably over any standard QWERTY keyboard made for use in the U.S.

Patrons may use the covers on any computer in the Reference Computing Area.

Also useful: Gate2Home, a website that shows an image of the non-English keyboard while you type. Includes the following languages: Arabic, Armenian, Belarussian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Devanagari, Divehi, Farsi, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Korean, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malayalam, Marathi, Mongolian, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Syriac, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek, and Vietnamese.

If you would like to request additional copies of keyboard covers in a particular language above or one not listed, please e-mail Davis Reference.
