If you\u2019ve missed our previous Tips of the Week, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/translationexcellence.com\/staging\/category\/tip-of-the-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check them out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use Word to write in a foreign language, this blog is for you! We\u2019re going to cover the basics of international characters in Word so that you don\u2019t have to spend any time tediously inserting accents using the <b>Symbol<\/b> dialog box or copying and pasting characters from the web. If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019re always looking for a way to do your job more efficiently; this short guide will get you started on typing accents using an English keyboard to save you time on your next translation. I find myself using these shortcuts all the time when an English to French translation comes across my desk, so I hope they help you out as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some quick housekeeping notes before we begin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The \u201c+\u201d in commands is there to show separation between the commands, you do not need to press the plus sign between commands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commas, unless in bold and followed by <i>(Comma)<\/i>, separate the first action from the second. For example, to insert \u201c\u00e0,\u201d you would press <b>Control <\/b>+<b> `<\/b> <i>(Accent Grave)<\/i>, let go, and then press the letter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The words in parenthesis that are italicized are descriptions of the key to press.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letters in the commands are listed in uppercase for readability, you should not press shift before the letter to capitalize it unless otherwise noted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Windows<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Windows is the most popular operating system used by translators, let\u2019s begin with the shortcuts that you can use for Windows.
