Keyboard: write Greek letters

The changeover works similarly under all Windows versions. We show you an example under Windows 8.1.

1. Open the Control Panel on your computer.
2. Click on "Language" and "Add language" and select "Greek".
3. In the task bar you will find the symbol for the language (DEU) at the bottom right. Click on it and select "Greek".
4. If you now type, you will generate the Greek characters.
5. To return to German, switch back to "German" in the task bar.
