It is likely that, for economic reasons, or simply because you purchased it elsewhere, you have a Mac without Ñ keywhich means that its distribution is different, and when it comes to writing, you either do it in an original way without this letter, or you change the format and they all get out of place.
There is a very simple way to be able use any Mac in the world as if it were Spanishwe will only have to configure it in the settings, something simple, and then purchase a product that is barely worth a couple of euros and will save us from trouble.
How to convert keyboard to Spanish on Mac
The first thing we will have to do, as we already said, is change it in the configuration of our computer, so that the keys adapt to Spanish, even though visually they are not correct.
The steps are as follows:
- Open System Preferences ( > System Preferences or System Settings).
- Go to Keyboard > Input Sources.
- Click +select Spanish and add.
- Active Show input menu in menu bar (optional).
- Switch to the Spanish keyboard from the menu bar or with Control + Space.
Once we have the computer with our language, we can use it as if it were an original one from Spain, however, unless we know how to write without looking at the keyboard, we will need to know what each real letter is, since, otherwise, We could go crazy until we guessed it.
At this point comes the accessory that we mentioned at the beginning, and that is that for a couple of euros, we can purchase a template in another languagebeing super comfortable. You will barely notice that you have something on it, and it will help us not only to visualize each key well, but also to protect the keyboard itself from dust and dirt in general, so it is not bad, even if you already have a Mac in Spanish.

From this moment we can exchange between languages inside the Mac, and simply removing this type of cover, thus making our computer multilingual, and being able to purchase one in another country if we find it at a great price, since, as you can see, this type of computer is very convenient and economical. “keyboards”.
And you, did you know this product? I even know people who, with a marker or stickers, have put the equivalence in the language selected internally on the Mac above the original keyboard, something that is much tacky and difficult to return to as before, in case you want to sell or use it. natively. With this system you can even have 20 different languages, since yes, there are many more keyboard layouts than we imagine.
