Problem with the keyboard language Azerty or Aqerty

[liwenna]

Hello Pierre,

Do you need the aquerty keyboard for input by your subjects trough an
echo? In that case I think that, unfortunately enough, there will be
no solution for this problem.
Not long ago there was a guy named Yoed on here that was trying the
solve that same problem except that he needed hebrew input. Try a
search on the word 'hebrew'  in the search this group bar to see the
small avalanche of posts that relate to that question.

He had been in contact with PST on this one too and this is the answer
he got from them:
****
Are you using E-Prime v1.x or E-Prime 2.0? While E-Prime 2.0 is
supported by
the English/Western European versions of Windows XP and Vista, this
really
only applies to text that is displayed by the objects. That is, while
the
"Text" property of a TextDisplay will accept foreign characters, the
other
properties (including .Input and its related echo properties) will
not. All
non-English characters or accents will go unrecognized by E-Prime in
the
responses and in the text that is echoed to the screen.

E-Prime 2.0 has resolved this to some degree by allowing non-English
fonts
to appear as responses in the data file (i.e., UNICODE fonts are
permitted).
However, the echo client will still only display English and the
responses
themselves will still be based on the QWERTY keyboard. You could get
around
this by manually echoing the subject's responses to the screen. For
example,
you could take the subject's input and then convert it to Hebrew in
script,
and then display this on screen (e.g., if the semicolon key is
pressed,
convert this to a specific character and display it on screen, etc).
However, this can be fairly script intensive and would require that
the
Hebrew characters appear correctly in TextDisplay objects and/or Slide
objects and appear correctly in InLine objects. If you are interested,
I
would recommend taking a look at SAMPLE:Process Responses
Template<http://www.pstnet.com/e-prime/support/samples.asp?
Mode=View&SampleID=47>for
an example of how to change what is displayed on screen based on the
subject's responses.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I do remember that some people here suggested some alternative things
to try but as far as I know Yoed never succeeded in having his
participants enter hebrew answers in e-prime.

Sorry to bring this bad news...

Best,

AW
