Frequently Asked Questions
What keyboard layout does the Indonesian keyboard use?
Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) uses the standard QWERTY layout, the same as English. There are no extra keys to learn, so you can start typing right away.
Does Indonesian use accents or special characters?
Modern Indonesian spelling uses the plain 26-letter Latin alphabet with no diacritics. Accents like é only appear in a few older spellings or foreign loanwords.
How do I type Indonesian text online?

How do I type the two 'e' sounds in Indonesian?
Indonesian has two pronunciations of the letter e (pepet and taling) but both are written with the same letter e. No special key is needed. Older spellings sometimes used é to mark the difference.
