Speed of data entry on foreign-language projects may greatly be improved by setting up an alternate keyboard that supports the language.

I recommend the Programmers keyboards as they are basically standard QWERTY keyboards with the special characters entered by use of the RIGHT-ALT+Letter combinations. Layouts are available for many languages.

"Polish Programmers"
"Romanian Programmers"


To get the capital letters, simply press shift, and the appropriate AltGr combination


To set this up see the following article
