The Acer laptop keyboard is available in various keyboard layouts to support multiple languages such as English, French, and more.
A problem with the keyboard language may occur if it is not configured for the required language and it may show a strange character instead of the intended letter or symbol. Luckily, users will have no such problems once the keyboard layout is correctly configured for their language and we will show you how to do so in this article.
