    1. Re: [FHU] Polish version

    3. Whilst there seems, from Simon and Jane's responses, to be no way, as yet, of having a Polish (or any other non-English) language version, it IS possible to set up your keyboard to produce non-English letters, as a switchable alternative to the standard UK/ US keyboard. For Polish, take a look at (for example): http://www.polishnewsseattle.org/info/PolskieLitery.htm Other sites, Microsoft included (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964651.aspx), show which keys relate to what character in the alternative language. Whilst this approach isn't, perhaps, ideal, it may be of use for those with non-English alphabet requirements as regards personal or place names, etc., although it is clearly of no use to anyone who is unable to use the software in their own (non-English) language. A similar approach would, almost certainly, apply to any non-English alphabet.
