The Arabic Keyboard and Where to Buy One
Arabic keyboards are difficult to find at your local electronics store. Best Buy, RadioShack, Saturn or Mediamarkt always have a large choice of keyboards in their nation's language, but never keyboards in Arabic. Students and immigrants often take up the study of Arabic for academic or travel reasons, respectively. These prospective customers must turn to the internet or international catalogs for the Arabic keyboard. The Arabic keyboard or “clavier Arabe,” is most common in Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Somalia, Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon, Palestine, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Comoros and Djibouti. Twenty two countries consider Arabic to be the official language and use Arabic keyboards to write letters, articles, essays, etc. on a daily basis.
Operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux all offer people the ability to change the keyboard input method. This is done by visiting the computer's control panel, preferences or settings and changing the keyboard language. Unfortunately, this type of re-assigning of the input keys does not change the letters on the keyboard itself. Writers of the Arabic language often want the keys of the keyboard to correspond with what they are actually typing on the screen.
Amazon.com and Amazon.de both offer Arabic keyboards for desktops. A desktop’s keyboard places Arabic lettering in the bottom right hand corner of each key and the English lettering in the top left hand corner. An entire Arabic keyboard cannot be installed onto a laptop. That is why Amazon also offers Arabic overlays for laptops. Overlays offer seventy-two stickers. Overlay sheets are affordable and convenient. Take each sticker off of the sheet and carefully place the adhesive stickers on the keyboard corresponding to the correct key. After the stickers are all placed on the keyboard an Arabic keyboard has been made! To order an Arabic keyboard visit Amazon’s webstore today!
