There are ways to put in German characters without the German keyboard, but I'll go over it later... being hounded to eat dinner at the moment. sweatdrop

This site explains how to do it in Windows. If you have a Mac, you want this site.


Or a simplified little list so you don't have to skitter around that page just to find one character:

Ä - alt + 142
ä - alt + 132
Ö - alt + 153
ö - alt + 148
Ü - alt + 154
ü - alt + 129
ß - alt + 225

(assuming you have Windows, the Mac way just seems... ridiculous xd )

Yeah, pressing alt and a random set of 4 numbers that you have to memorize is way less ridiculous than the Mac way.
option + u (for umlaut) -> ¨
option + u, a -> ä
option + u, o -> ö

Oh, actually... that makes sense.... surprised

I know a few German bands, but Rammstein is the one I know best! ^^ I've translated roughly 17 of their songs, and I must say that if the half the people who listen to Rammstein would stop listening if they knew what they were singing about. XD

Wow, cool to see that you agree with me!

Oh, actually... was that sarcasm...? surprised

I apologize, then... that the 95% of computer-users who prefer Windows at least know how to memorize a given set of numbers. The last time I checked, serial memorization wasn't exactly rocket science, was it?

I know what you're saying there. eek I mean... Rein Raus... good God... to think that when I first started learning German, I had no idea what it all meant. And if you've seen the music video for Mann Gegen Mann... well actually, you, being female, just might like it. xp But to me 'twas horrifying! gonk

...But I still listen to the song!

Never said it was. Just pointing out there's nothing ridiculous about the Mac way. Most people who use Windows have never used anything else, so to say they prefer it is a stretch at best. I don't care if you hate Macs, but don't lie about them.

Anyway, I like Hannes Wader and Nena. razz

I've used a Mac - but I was raised on Windows, so it's definetly my preference. 3nodding

How can that be a lie? It was an honest opinion - everything about Macs is ridiculous to me, from the damned option key to the fact that the mice only have one clicker.

I think I'd like to learn some German. There's this German exchange student at my school, and she's trying out for the swim team, so I get to talk to her a lot. She's awesome! heart

People like that just soften my heart so much. 4laugh
