Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem. You can set up alternative keyboards on your computer without buying a new keyboard.I have English, German, French and Spanish installed on my computer. Details follow.




Spanish Keyboard

To install a Spanish Keyboard


Click on Start
Select and click on Control Panel
Select and click on Regional and Language Options
Scroll down language options to find Spanish (Spain) or other option. Now click OK
You can now activate your new keyboard layout
Click on the small blue square [EN] icon of the language bar (usually on the task bar near the bottom right hand side of your screen)
Select and click [ES]
Your main keyboard is still QWERTY, but the extra Spanish letters (Ñ Ç) and punctuation symbols (¿ and ¡) appear outside the English alphabetic area.
Apart from the full stop, comma and exclamation mark, all other punctuation marks have moved.
This keyboard works with all fonts and text writing applications (including e-mails)
Don’t worry if you can’t find £, [ ], { }, as you can toggle freely between [EN] and [ES] at any time!
