These files have been collected from the Github platform in 10 projects of more than 1000 lines of code (LOC) per language. (?) The "Programming" corpus category consists of text files in four popular programming languages (C++, Java, Python, Javascript) and two presentation languages (HTML, CSS). The content, grammar, spelling, and use of special characters in these publications have not been corrected a posteriori to reflect realistic usage. Informal (?) The "Informal" corpus category contains anonymized emails, and the thousand most recent posts from 10 popular Twitter accounts and 10 popular Facebook accounts as of August 2016. It includes all Wikipedia pages in French in June 2014, legal texts on environmental and labor legislation, written questions addressed to the Official Journal of the European Union and the corresponding answers, transcripts of radio broadcasts, and articles from recognized French news papers. This web page is intended to serve as a reference for anyone interested in exploring the new AZERTY layout, and to learn more about the methods behind its design.įormal (?) The "Formal" corpus category is made of French texts, either written by professionals or corrected daily by a dedicated community. These are based on the results of the most recent research in the field of text input, on a large amount of French text data (including newspapers, programming code, and Twitter posts), and on large-scale studies of keyboard typing speed. The new AZERTY layout has been developed using computer algorithms. Yet, characters are still easy to locate thanks to intuitive groupings.It includes almost 60 additional characters for foreign languages, technical content, etc.It is designed to be more ergonomic and to allow faster input.It contains the entire set of characters required to type in French (for example É, œ et «).However, it is in many respects superior to the old keyboard : It describes two layouts, one of which closely follows the AZERTY keyboard used by most people who write in French. The only catch is that it only works in Microsoft Word, but you can then copy and paste your text and use it in the application you want.The project was launched at the end of 2015 onįrom the Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France (Ministry of Culture), based on the observation that the current "azerty" keyboards constrain the writing of French, regional languages and European languages with a Latin alphabet.įor the first time, a standard (NF Z71-300) defines the placement of characters on the French keyboard. With the following method, you won’t need to memorise a heap of random numbers to use ALT key “shortcuts”, and you won’t need to change your keyboard to a French AZERTY keyboard and then have to learn where all the keys are again. I’ve asked my husband to write a post about it as he is the one who helps me out with all the tech parts! (For myself, I use a French keyboard.) Here’s the easiest way to type French accents on Word

I have already written an article about How to Type French accents on an Apple iPhone / iPad, which you can read here. Many students who need to write French assignments have asked me how to type French accents on Word.
