Keyboard setup in Spanish, French and Hebrew

How to Type in Spanish, Hebrew or French on your device.

Written by Founder

At Dioma, we focus on what matters most: real practice that leads to real fluency. That’s why we’ve prioritized building a powerful correction and feedback engine, but we don’t yet offer an on-screen keyboard. For now, we rely on your device’s built-in language tools.

It's pretty easy to setup on any device and here's how you do it.

For typing on a computer, you may want to explore silicone keyboard covers. This is an affordable and powerful tool for all languages, but especially in a language like Hebrew that uses completely different characters. I recommend searching for: [Language] keyboard cover [your computer type].

Here’s how to set up typing in your target language, whether you're on a computer, tablet, or phone. This guide covers Spanish, French, and Hebrew, but the steps are nearly identical for other languages too.

🖥 On Desktop or Laptop

Mac (macOS)

  1. Go to System SettingsKeyboardInput Sources

  2. Click +, then select your language (e.g., Spanish, French, or Hebrew)

  3. Choose your preferred keyboard layout (e.g., Spanish - ISO, Hebrew - QWERTY)

  4. Toggle between keyboards using ⌘ + Space or the language icon in the menu bar

Tip: For accents, hold down a key (like “e”) to choose accented options (é, è, ê). Hebrew doesn’t require special characters—just switch layouts.

Windows 10/11

  1. Go to SettingsTime & LanguageLanguage & Region

  2. Under Preferred Languages, click Add a language

  3. Search for your language and follow the prompts

  4. Use Windows key + Space to switch keyboards

Tip: For Spanish/French accents, you can also use Alt + [numeric code], or install the “US-International” keyboard layout for easier input.

📱 On Mobile Devices

Apple iOS (iPhone/iPad)

  1. Go to SettingsGeneralKeyboardKeyboards

  2. Tap Add New Keyboard and select your language
