US-International tutorial (Windows 11)

The US-International layout will help you type in many different languages that use the Latin script. It is available in Windows 11 by default and can be easily enabled.

Firstly, search for "edit lauguage" in the Windows search. In the search results, click on "Edit language and keyboard options". This will take you to the desired settings page.
