    On the iPhone or iPad, simply hold down the letter you would like to add the accent to and a row of accented versions should appear for you to choose from.

    I am on Windows and I can't find the Num Lock key. I've tried looking for it multiple times. Is there another way?

    The typical keyboard contains the Num Lock key in the upper area of the number pad (usually on the right side of the keyboard).

    Control Panel doesn't have a language option! The Alt trick doesn't work, either. I looked in Keyboard Settings, but nothing worked there. What should I do?

    If you're on a Mac, simply hold down the letter until options come up above the letter, then press the respective number on your keyboard.

    You'll need to go into the control panel like it said and make shortcuts for the language.

    Which keys can I press for e with a tilde?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    On your phone just hold on the ‘e’ button. On a computer you can type in the website French accents.com, which has accents for several languages, not just French.
