As any German speaker knows, there are certain letters that exist in German, such as ß ö ä ü, that do not exist in English. This can make typing in German a bit difficult at times. The way I've been getting around this problem has been to copy and paste these letters from places like Google translate. I also sometimes type ss when I need to use ß and I type oe when I need to use ö.

But having to do so every time is starting to get annoying. Is there a way to get German keys right on my American keyboard? Can I just buy a special keyboard that can switch between German and English keys? Is there some software I can download somewhere?

Please let me know.
