Specifications

The Peruvian (Spanish) label set conforms to the Spanish (Latin American) keyboard layout in Windows. The labels are printed on clear Lexan® so the original key legend shows through; this allows you to add Spanish labels to your existing keyboard so that it becomes a bilingual keyboard (Spanish and the original language of your keyboard). The labels are available in blue letters on clear labels (for beige and light colored keyboards) and white letters on clear labels (for dark colored keyboards). 

Peruvian (Spanish) labels are a very economical option for creating a bilingual Spanish keyboard. The language labels use an easy peel-and-stick method to install. They will not damage the original keyboard key. The letters are printed on the underside of the labels so that the lettering will not wear off. This affords you with many years of durable use.  

DataCal language labels are designed to fit desktop and laptop computer keyboards. Laptops with smaller than standard keys may not be compatible with the DataCal label sets.

Label size: 7/16" w X 9/16" H (11mm W X 14mm H)

Features

• Durable labels. Labels are manufactured of durable Lexan®. They won't tear, crack, discolor, or slip off even after years of use.

• Quality Printing. The printing is on the underside of the label so the INK NEVER WEARS OFF OR SCRATCHES OFF.

• Easy to Apply. The labels are EASY TO APPLY. The labels are printed in the same sequence that they appear on the keyboard regardless of the keyboard's original language. If necessary, labels can be cut with scissors for special installations.

• Quality Adhesive. The label adhesive firmly attaches the label in place without damaging the keyboard key or the original key legend.
  

• Removable. If desired, Labels may be removed without causing damage to the original key or the legend on the key.

• Accurate Die-Cutting. Labels are printed with rounded corners so they cover the keytop and will not pop off in use.

• Complete Alphanumeric Set. The label sets include labels to cover all of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. The sets do not include the function keys, the control keys, or the numeric keypad.

• Bilingual Keyboard. The clear labels do not interfere with the original characters printed on the key.

• Durable and Flexible. Labels are flexible enough to allow you to feel the touch-typing bumps on the F and J keys.

Instructions for Typing in Spanish in Windows

Deadkeys

The Spanish keyboard layout uses a system of deadkeys (highlighted in yellow below) to type certain accented characters. To use the deadkey system, first type the deadkey; nothing will appear on the screen. Next, type the key (generally a vowel) that you wish to combine with the deadkey. You should then see the accented character that you want on the screen. If you press a deadkey and then a press a key that does not go with that accent (such as pressing an accent and the number "2"), nothing happens; the accent deadkey must be correct to work. Depending upon the language, deadkeys work with both unshifted and shifted keys.

The AltGr Key

Many languages include more characters than can be typed on a standard computer keyboard. To solve this problem, additional characters may be assigned to the right AltGr key (the right Alt key) and/or the Shifted AltGr key. In Europe, the right Alt key is referred to as the AltGr key. In the United States, it is merely the right Alt key. It is important to note that the left Alt key cannot be used as the AltGr key.

The 102 Style Keyboard

This language uses the European style 102 keyboard layout. This keyboard layout features a key in the lower left corner of the keyboard (next to the US English "Z" key) that is not found on standard US 101 keyboards. If you are using a standard US 101 keyboard, you will not be able to use this label. If you are using the US 101 style keyboard and wish to type the characters on the 102 key, you will have to switch back to English to be able to type these characters or use the Alt key input method.

To use the Alt key input method, hold down the Alt key on the keyboard and press the numbers indicated below for the desired character on the numeric keypad (note that the system only works with the numeric keypad; it does not work with the number row across the top of the keyboard).
