mine are all on different keys.

What do you mean different keys...should be these:

ctrl+alt+ a= ą
ctrl+alt+ z= ż
n=ń
x=ź
o=ó
s=ś
e=ę
c=ć

I have set my keyboard this way (like FISZ's instuctions) and I keep the language tool bar in the system tray at the bottom of the screen so I can switch back and forth easily. I find that if I don't type words with the correct Polish letters, Poltran can't translate them for me. I have considered putting little pieces of tape over my keys to help me learn where things are. You have to hit SHIFT and press the punctuation keys to get additional letters. :)

Go to Control Panel....

Does not work in Windows XP Pro SP3 (English version). Only United Kingdom/United States Keyboards.

Hello. You can configure your computer keyboard to type in Polish by going to the Regional and Language settings on your computer in the Control Panel. After you have configured your keyboard to type in Polish, you can press the Ctrl and Alt keys and then a letter and you'll get a Polish letter. :) I hope this helps.

Polish Keyboard Drivers for various versions of Windows are here: grzegorj.w.interia.pl/keyboard/indexgb.html
No ALT codes to remeber just ALT+letter (not ALT+CODE). Works great.

I'm having problems with the ś key. I do alt-s, but nothing happens. All the comes up is a hp screen with bunch of numbers on it.

If you don't like fumbling with the ALT key simply use the Polish 214 keyboard where Polish diacritics are in the right place. Also, the Z is where it belongs on a Polish keyboard -- in the top letter row betweeen T and U, not in the lower-right corner.

How does that help me? I still can't make the ś key

hold alt and press 0156 on your numeric keyboard

Also, pressing ctrl is only needed when you hold left alt. If you press right alt, you don't have to use ctrl.

So, right alt + s should give you nice ś if you have polish keyboard layout installed. Make sure you use Polish (programmers) layout and not Polish 214.

I understand there is a Polish keyboard No. 214 which solves the problem. Anyone familiar with it?

Regular keyboard has Polish letters placed as they are placed on a regular Polish typing machine where ;'][/., are.

That's why one should use programmer's Polish keyboard, where all Polish letters are accessed by using right ALT and a letter (alt+s for ś)

Did even make sense here?

I tried doing that, but I have the same problem. I have the right polish (programmers) thing, and i pressed alt 0156, but for some reason it won't work

Perhaps it's because you don't have a proper code page installed on your PC. To do so:

Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options
then click 'Advanced' tab and choose Polish language from drop-down box. Also make sure, the 'ISO 8859-2 Central Europe' code page is selected (in the window below the drop-down box).

This also helps when letters are not being displayed properly in some polish apps.
