Yikes! My Keyboard thinks I want to type in Spanish! (email, screen)

[Katzpur]

I just changed the batteries in my Logitek keyboard and all of a sudden and all of a sudden, I am getting Spanish characters instead of English ones, for example ñ ¿ instead of the colon and the equal sign. I am getting a parentheses every time I want type a single quote. I could not see a switch or anything I might have inadvertently touched. Does anyone have any ideas?

Never mind. Found out how. It was way, way, way too easy.

Glad to hear because otherwise, your post would probably read something like this:

¡No haga caso! Descubrí cómo. Fue demasiado, demasiado fácil.

Why to tell us so some future person with the same issue can find the solution ?

Agreed. I hate it when I come across threads like this in internet searches that end with "nevermind, fixed it". If you're asking for help, consider giving some back.

That typically happens when people realize it was something "seemingly" stupid or simple like accidentally changing the system language/keyboard to another (by pressing the Windows Key and then Spacebar) if more than one was added.

Reminds me of the time my cat was playing on my keyboard and suddenly the screen size got reduced in size. I couldn't Google for help because I couldn't read the tiny typeface. That was fun.

I toggle my windows keyboard between USA English, Spanish and German very often. That lets me type emails or text in any of those languages and access to the special symbols or features of each one. My keyboard language options appear in a pull down menu at the bottom right of my screen next to the date and time.
