世界上大约一半的人口是双语的，因此了解如何在Windows 10上更改键盘语言对许多用户来说很重要。此外，您可能需要一个舒适的计算机键盘布局，并帮助您以所选输入语言更快地键入。本指南说明了如何向键盘添加语言以及如何在Windows 10中的键盘之间切换，包括有关用于更改布局和语言的键盘快捷键的详细信息。我们使用西班牙语键盘布局向您展示它是如何完成的，但如果您需要俄语键盘布局、韩语键盘布局或Windows 10中的任何其他键盘语言，步骤是相同的。有很多内容要介绍，所以让我们开始吧：
注意：(NOTE:)本教程是使用Windows 2020 年 10 月 10 日更新(Windows 10 October 2020 Update)创建的。要了解您安装了哪个版本，请阅读我们关于如何检查 Windows 10 版本、操作系统构建、版本或类型(How to check the Windows 10 version, OS build, edition, or type)的指南。
如何在Windows 10中为键盘添加语言(Windows 10)
当您在计算机或设备上安装 Windows 10(install Windows 10)时，系统会提示您选择计算机键盘布局。但是，如果您没有自己配置操作系统，或者您想要更多的输入语言，则可以轻松地将键盘语言添加到Windows 10中。
首先，通过按键盘上的Windows + I打开设置应用程序(open the Settings app)，然后单击或点击时间和语言(Time & Language)。
在Windows 10 设置(Settings)中，访问时间(Time)和语言(Language)
在左侧栏中，按“语言”(Language)选项卡，然后在右侧，在“首选语言(Preferred languages)”下查找所需的Windows 10键盘语言。首选语言(Preferred languages)列表显示 Windows 10 设备上安装的语言。如果您想要的输入语言已在此处列出，请跳至下一章以决定是否要为其使用标准键盘布局。但是，如果您在列表中找不到它，请单击或点击“添加语言”(“Add a language”)选项。
如何在Windows 10(Windows 10)中向键盘添加另一种语言
这将打开按字母顺序排列的Windows 10中所有可用语言的列表。您可以滚动浏览它，但可能需要很长时间才能找到所需的Windows 10键盘语言。
您可以将Windows 10(Windows 10)中的键盘语言更改为大多数可用选项
输入您需要的Windows(Windows)键盘语言的名称会更快——在我们的例子中是西班牙语(Spanish)。对于某些输入语言，有更多版本可用，因此您可以选择特定于您所在地区或国家/地区的一种。查看可用选项，单击或点击所需的Windows 10键盘语言，然后按Next。
选择所需的Windows键盘语言，然后按 Next
提示：(TIP:)当您向Windows 10添加键盘语言时，在某些条目旁边，您可能会注意到最多四个图标，这些图标在窗口底部进行了简要说明。要详细了解包含这些可选功能的语言包及其相关性，请查看我们的关于更改 Windows 10 中的显示语言的指南(our guide on changing the display language in Windows 10)。
在“安装语言功能”(“Install language features”)页面上，您可以看到所选语言的可用选项。我们上面提到的“可选语言功能”(“Optional language features”)会占用硬盘空间。除非您需要它们，否则我们的建议是取消选中它们。但是，如果要将语言添加到键盘，则必须在“必需的语言功能”下显示(“Required language features”)基本输入，因此请确保它在那里，然后单击或点击(Basic typing)安装(Install)。
在Windows 10中，通过为其安装(Windows 10)基本(Basic)输入来添加键盘语言
下载和安装Windows 10(Windows 10)键盘语言可能需要一些时间，但随后您可以在语言(Language)设置页面的首选语言(Preferred languages)下看到它。
在Windows 10中，添加键盘语言以在首选(Preferred)语言下显示它
基本输入(Basic typing) (abc)图标表示它已添加为((abc))Windows 10中的输入语言。但是，在我们解释如何在键入时更改键盘语言之前，让我们设置键盘布局。
如何为您的输入语言添加键盘布局
键盘布局控制为所选语言的每个键分配哪些字母和符号。虽然这对大多数用户来说似乎没什么大不了的，但如果您需要输入很多内容，那么舒适的键盘布局可以让一切变得不同。在语言(Language)设置中，按下您的一种输入语言以显示其下方的其他按钮。然后，单击或点击选项(Options)。
提示：(TIP:)您也可以按右侧的删除按钮立即从(Remove)Windows 10中删除键盘语言。
访问选项(Options)以更改您的计算机键盘布局
键盘(Keyboards)部分显示所选语言的当前布局。要查看更多替代方案，请单击或点击“添加键盘”(“Add a keyboard”)按钮。
对于其他键盘布局，请按添加(Add)键盘
这将打开一个弹出窗口，在顶部显示您的语言的任何替代键盘布局。您可以在Windows 10(Windows 10)中使用不止一种西班牙语键盘布局，但专用选项的数量取决于您的输入语言。此外(Furthermore)，即使为我们的语言显示的所有选项都基于经典的QWERTY键盘布局，您也可能会遇到不同的设置 - 例如，美国流行的键盘布局是DVORAK键盘布局。单击(Click)或点击所需的选项。
在Windows 10(Windows 10)中选择您喜欢的西班牙语键盘布局
新的键盘设置会立即添加到键盘(Keyboards)部分，就在原始布局的正下方。除非您确切知道它们中的每一个是如何工作的，否则我们建议您暂时保留它们。您可以使用下一章中的说明来测试它们并找出您最喜欢哪一个。但是，一旦您确切知道要查找的内容，就可以单击或点击要删除的键盘布局，然后按Remove。

如何在Windows 10(Windows 10)中的键盘之间切换
您可以随时根据需要在Windows 10中更改键盘语言。最明显的是Windows语言栏，可以从系统托盘或通知区域(Notification area)轻松访问。一旦您添加了一种以上的键盘语言，您就会在时钟旁边看到一个新图标，显示您当前输入语言的缩写 - 在我们的例子中，ENG代表英语。单击或点击它。
按下新的缩写语言图标以显示Windows 10中的语言栏(Windows 10)
这会打开Windows 10语言栏，其中会在列表中显示每个已安装的键盘布局。单击(Click)或点击您要使用的输入语言。
如何通过两次单击或点击更改Windows 10中的键盘语言(Windows 10)
所选语言现在处于活动状态，Windows语言栏折叠。图标更改以反映我们当前正在使用西班牙语键盘布局。
Windows 10中的语言栏折叠，但输入语言显示在系统托盘中
提示：如果您在(TIP:)通知区域(Notification area)中找不到图标，您可以通过阅读我们的在 Windows 10 系统托盘中显示图标的指南(our guide on showing icons in the Windows 10 system tray)轻松启用它- 只需确保输入指示器(Input Indicator)系统图标已打开。
您还可以使用三个键盘快捷键访问Windows 10语言栏。(Windows 10)
Use Windows + Spacebar更改键盘语言或布局
按Windows + Spacebar，列表中的下一个键盘布局将变为活动状态，短暂显示Windows 10语言栏。
如何使用Win + Spacebar
之后继续按住Windows键，语言栏将保留在屏幕上。每次按Spacebar时，Windows 10 都会在已安装的布局之间切换。做出选择后松开两个按钮。(Release)或者，您也可以放弃空格键(Spacebar)，而是在按住Windows按钮的同时单击或点击语言栏中所需的输入语言。您所需的布局已激活，Windows 10语言栏折叠。
Use Left Alt + Shift更改键盘语言
更改键盘语言的另一个快捷键是Left Alt + Shift.
Windows 10中的更改键盘语言快捷键
您可以像使用第一个快捷键一样使用此快捷键，方法是按住左 Alt(Left Alt)键的同时按Shift 键(Shift)将活动输入语言切换到下一种语言。但是，请记住，您只能切换输入语言，不能切换键盘布局。因此，如果您为同一种语言添加了多个布局，则此键盘快捷键只能更改为上次使用的键盘布局，而完全忽略其他键盘布局。但是，您也可以单击或点击语言栏中显示的任何选项来激活它，如上所述。
Use Ctrl + Shift更改语言的键盘布局
您可以使用的最后一个键盘快捷键是Ctrl + Shift。
切换布局的快捷键
三者中最不受欢迎的，此快捷方式仅适用于在为相同语言安装的键盘布局之间进行更改。您可以像其他两个一样使用它（按住Ctrl并按Shift进行切换），但除非您为相同的(Shift)Windows键盘语言添加了多个布局，并且其中一个处于活动状态，否则它不会做任何事情。
为了澄清，在下图中，您只能使用此快捷方式在底部的两种键盘布局之间切换。此外，其中一个必须在系统托盘中处于活动状态，否则不会发生任何事情。
Use Ctrl + Shift更改为其他西班牙语键盘布局
提示：(TIP:)如果您对本章中的默认键盘快捷键不满意，您可以修改最后两个。最重要的是，您还可以为您最常使用的布局添加专用热键，如我们的如何在 Windows 10 中更改键盘语言快捷方式(How to change the keyboard language shortcut in Windows 10)的指南中所示。
您使用多少种键盘输入语言和布局？
因为我用两种语言编写每个指南，所以必须知道如何在Windows 10(Windows 10)中尽快更改我的键盘语言。无论您使用何种键盘布局或语言，我希望您使用本文中的技巧和窍门让打字更舒适。在您关闭本指南之前，我很好奇您在Windows 10计算机或设备上添加了哪些键盘输入语言。您使用的是德语键盘布局还是不太流行的键盘布局，例如日语键盘布局？您目前在Windows 10中使用了多少种键盘布局和输入语言？在评论中留下你的故事。
How to change the keyboard language on Windows 10 -
Approximately half of the world population is bilingual, so knowing how to change the keyboard language on Windows 10 іs important to many users. Furthеrmore, you may want a computer keyboard layout that’s comfortable and helps you type fastеr in the chosen input langυage. This guide illustrates how to add a language to keyboard and how to switсh between keyboards in Windows 10, including details on the keyboard shortcuts used to change layоuts and languages. We use a Spаnish keyboard layout to show you how it’s done, but the steps are the same if you need a Ruѕsian keybоard layout, a Koreаn keyboard layout, оr any other keyboard language in Windows 10. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started:
NOTE: This tutorial was created using Windows 10 October 2020 Update. To find out which version you have installed, read our guide on How to check the Windows 10 version, OS build, edition, or type.
How to add a language to keyboard in Windows 10
When you install Windows 10 on your computer or device, you are prompted to choose a computer keyboard layout. However, if you didn’t configure the operating system yourself, or if you want more input languages, it’s easy to add a keyboard language to Windows 10.
First, open the Settings app by pressing Windows + I on your keyboard, and then click or tap on Time & Language.
In Windows 10 Settings, access Time & Language
From the left column, press on the Language tab, and then, on the right, look under Preferred languages for your desired Windows 10 keyboard language. The Preferred languages list shows the languages installed on your Windows 10 device. If the input language you want is already listed here, skip to the next chapter to decide if you want to use a standard keyboard layout for it. However, if you can’t find it in the list, click or tap on the “Add a language” option.
How to add another language to keyboard in Windows 10
This opens an alphabetical list of all the languages available in Windows 10. You can scroll through it, but it might take too long to find the Windows 10 keyboard language you want.
You can change the keyboard language in Windows 10 to most of the available options
It’s faster to type the name of the Windows keyboard language you need - in our case, Spanish. For some input languages, there are more versions available, so you can choose the one specific to your region or country. Review the available options, click or tap on the Windows 10 keyboard language you want, and then press Next.
Select your desired Windows keyboard language and press Next
TIP: When you add a keyboard language to Windows 10, next to some entries, you might notice up to four icons, which are briefly explained at the bottom of the window. To learn more about the language packs that include these optional features and how they’re relevant, check out our guide on changing the display language in Windows 10.
On the “Install language features” page, you can see the available options for the selected language. The “Optional language features” we mentioned above take up space on your hard drive. Unless you need them, our advice is to uncheck them. However, Basic typing must be displayed under “Required language features” if you want to add the language to keyboard, so make sure it’s there, and then click or tap on Install.
In Windows 10, add a keyboard language by installing Basic typing for it
It might take a few moments for the Windows 10 keyboard language to download and install, but you can then see it on the Language settings page, under Preferred languages.
In Windows 10, add a keyboard language to display it under Preferred languages
The Basic typing (abc) icon indicates it’s already added as an input language in Windows 10. However, before we explain how to change your keyboard language as you type, let’s set the keyboard layout.
How to add a keyboard layout for your input language
The keyboard layout controls which letters and symbols are assigned to each key for the selected language. While this might not seem like a big deal to most users, if you need to type a lot, a comfortable keyboard layout can make all the difference. In the Language settings, press on one of your input languages to reveal additional buttons under it. Then, click or tap on Options.
TIP: You can also press the Remove button on the right to immediately remove the keyboard language from Windows 10.
Access Options to change your computer keyboard layout
The Keyboards section displays the current layout for the selected language. To see more alternatives, click or tap on the “Add a keyboard” button.
For another keyboard layout, press Add a keyboard
This opens a pop-up window, displaying any alternative keyboard layouts for your language at the top. There is more than one Spanish keyboard layout you can use in Windows 10, but the number of dedicated options depends on your input language. Furthermore, even if all the choices shown for our language are based on the classic QWERTY keyboard layout, you might also come across different setups - e.g., a popular keyboard layout for US is the DVORAK keyboard layout. Click or tap on the option you want.
Choose the Spanish keyboard layout you prefer in Windows 10
The new keyboard setup is immediately added in the Keyboards section, right under the original layout. Unless you know exactly how each of them works, we recommend keeping both for now. You can use the instructions in the next chapter to test them out and figure out which one you like best. However, once you know exactly what you’re looking for, you can click or tap on the keyboard layout you want to delete and press Remove.

How to switch between keyboards in Windows 10
You get more than one option for changing the keyboard language in Windows 10 whenever you want. The most obvious is the Windows language bar, easily accessed from the system tray or Notification area. As soon as you add more than one keyboard language, you can see a new icon next to your clock, showing an abbreviation of your current input language - in our case ENG for English. Click or tap on it.
Press on the new abbreviated language icon to reveal the language bar in Windows 10
This opens the Windows 10 language bar, which shows every installed keyboard layout in a list. Click or tap on the input language you want to use.

The selected language is now active, and the Windows language bar collapses. The icon changes to reflect we’re currently using the Spanish keyboard layout.

TIP: If you can’t find the icon in your Notification area, you can easily enable it by reading our guide on showing icons in the Windows 10 system tray - just make sure the Input Indicator system icon is on.
You can also access the Windows 10 language bar using three keyboard shortcuts.
Use Windows + Spacebar to change the keyboard language or layout
Press Windows + Spacebar, and the next keyboard layout in the list becomes active, briefly displaying the Windows 10 language bar.
How to change the language on keyboard using Win + Spacebar
Continue to hold down the Windows key afterward, and the language bar remains on your screen. Each time you press Spacebar, Windows 10 switches between the installed layouts. Release both buttons when you’ve made your choice. Alternatively, you can also abandon the Spacebar and, instead, click or tap on the input language you want from the language bar, while holding down the Windows button. Your desired layout is activated, and the Windows 10 language bar collapses.
Use Left Alt + Shift to change the keyboard language
Another shortcut to change the keyboard language is Left Alt + Shift.
The change keyboard language shortcut in Windows 10
You can use this shortcut precisely like the first one, by pressing-and-holding the Left Alt key while hitting Shift to switch the active input language to the next one. However, keep in mind that you can only switch the input language, not the keyboard layout. So, if you added multiple layouts for the same language, this keyboard shortcut can only change to the last keyboard layout used, completely ignoring the other one(s). However, you can also click or tap on any option displayed in the language bar to activate it, as explained above.
Use Ctrl + Shift to change the keyboard layout for a language
The last keyboard shortcut you can use is Ctrl + Shift.
The keyboard shortcut to switch the layout
The least popular of the three, this shortcut only works for changing between the keyboard layouts installed for the same language. You can use it just like the other two (you hold Ctrl and press Shift to switch), but it won’t do anything unless you have multiple layouts added for the same Windows keyboard language, and one of them is active.
To clarify, in the image below, you can use this shortcut only to switch between the two keyboard layouts at the bottom. Furthermore, one of them has to be active in the system tray, or nothing happens.
Use Ctrl + Shift to change to the other Spanish keyboard layout
TIP: If you’re not happy with the default keyboard shortcuts in this chapter, you can modify the last two. On top of that, you can also add dedicated hotkeys for the layouts you use the most, as shown in our guide on How to change the keyboard language shortcut in Windows 10.
How many keyboard input languages and layouts do you use?
Because I write every guide in two languages, it’s essential to know how to change my keyboard language as fast as possible in Windows 10. I hope you use the tricks and tips in this article to make typing comfortable, no matter what keyboard layout or language you’re using. Before you close this guide, I’m curious which keyboard input languages you added on your Windows 10 computer or device. Are you using the German keyboard layout or one that’s less-popular, like the Japanese keyboard layout? How many keyboard layouts and input languages are you currently using in Windows 10? Leave your story in the comments.
