A. Turkish language support
___________________________

In order to see the Turkish alphabet properly displayed in Windows you must first ensure that Turkish is recognized by the system: this will convert "" to Yumusak G etc.

1. Start|Settings|Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs|Windows Setup|Multilanguage Support

2. Click on the "Details..." button and check (select) Turc, OK, OK, ...

[Dmarrer|Paramtres|Panneau de configuration|Ajout-suppression de programmes|Installation de Windows|prise en charge multilingue|Ajouter la prise en charge turque.  Valider.] 


B. Installation
_______________

1. Copy the new keyboard file:

		kbdtu_fr.kbd

to your Windows/System folder.


2. Double-click on the Registry update file:

		addtu_fr.reg

This will ensure that the system recognizes the new keyboard layout as a legitimate Turkish layout.

3. Close all running programs.

4. Reboot your machine (Start|Shut Down|Restart).

5. Start|Settings|Control Panel|Keyboard|Language|Add|Turkish, then click OK.

[* Dmarrer / Paramtres / Panneau de configuration - Clavier - Onglet Langues - Bouton Ajouter 

* Dans la fentre "Ajout de langue", choisissez "Turc".]

6. Make sure that you can see "Turc (clavier franais)" in the dialog box.  If not, click Proprits, & select "Turc (clavier franais)".

7. Select a suitable method of Switching Languages (the simplest is Left Alt-Shift), and check the "Enable Indicator on Taskbar" option.

[Cochez la case "Activer l'indicateur sur la barre des tches".

Ds lors, dans quasiment tous les logiciels, vous disposez de tous les claviers que vous avez installs, qui sont accessibles en utilisant la bascule Ctrl-maj ou Alt-maj que vous aurez choisie.]

8. Click OK.  You are now ready to type with the new keyboard layout.




C. Using the keyboard
_____________________

To type in Turkish (eg in Word or Internet Explorer), ensure that you can see the "Tr" indicator in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.  Refer to the graphical file turkish_fr.gif for the positions of the Turkish letters.  In IE you will also need to change to Turkish encoding [View|Encoding|Turkish (Windows)].

The main equivalents are as follows (^ = hold down the AltGr key on the right of the Space Bar):

	For		Type this key
	===		=============

			9 (above  on keyboard)
	yum. G		Q (small q is similar to g)
	I		I
	dotted I	J
	j		^j
	J		^k
			0 (zero: looks like O)
			 (same key as 0 = zero)
	s,		$ 
	S,		 (same key as $)
			 (modified u)
			% (same key as )

	,,		^a,^i,^v

	q		^q
	Q		^z
	9		^
	
Most lower-case Turkish letters can also be typed using the AltGr key: eg ^g for yumusak g, ^o for , ^s for s,[imdi]   etc.


D. Example
__________

Yarin Elziq'da gr$emeyeceqjz

or: Yarin El^azi^g'da g^or^u^semeyece^gjz 

= Yarin Elzig'da gorusemeyecegiz.





E. Typing Turkish in Notepad (eg when editing HTML)
___________________________________________________

Notepad cannot display the Turkish letters: instead, you must use their ANSI equivalents [eg  (=yum. g),  (=noktasiz i)].  The trick in this case is to "add" a language that uses the French keyboard [eg Franais (Luxembourg)], then associate with that language the layout "Turc (clavier franais)", as described in step B.6.   Now switch to the "other" French keyboard, and whenever you press the Q key you will see a "", etc.
	
[Astuce pour pouvoir crire en turc en utilisant le logiciel Notepad:

* Dans la fentre "Ajout de langue", on choisira une des variantes franaises qui figurent dans la liste : p ex Franais (Luxembourg).

* Par un clic sur le bouton Proprits, on peut associer  cette langue le clavier "Turc (clavier franais)".

* Dsormais en frappant la touche Q on obtiendra un "", etc.]



F. Uninstalling French Turkish layout
_____________________________________

1. Close all running programs.

2. Double-click on the registry update file:

	uninstal_fr.reg

in Windows Explorer.  This will restore the original QWERTY (Q-type) Turkish layout.

3. Reboot your machine.
