ABSTRACT:
A documentation system having a multilingual function, including a keyboard; a keyboard mode selecting device for setting at least a standard language mode and a multilingual mode wherein one keyboard mode (an optional language mode different from the standard keyboard language mode) can be selected from a plurality of selectable optional language keyboard modes; an optional language keyboard mode selecting device for selecting one optional language mode from said plurality of selectable optional language keyboard modes according to an operation of certain predetermined keys on the keyboard while in the multilingual mode; a selected keyboard mode storing device for storing an optional language mode selected by the optional language keyboard mode selecting device; and a selected keyboard mode reading device for automatically reading the optional language mode selected from the selected keyboard mode storing device when the multilingual mode is set by the keyboard mode selecting device so as to automatically condition the keyboard into the selected optional language keyboard mode whenever the multilingual mode is set. With this arrangement, one of the selectable (optional language) keyboard modes is selected by the optional language keyboard mode selecting device, and it is stored in the selected keyboard mode storing device. Subsequently, when the multilingual mode is set (selected) by an operator, the keyboard is automatically conditioned into the proper optional language mode by a read from the selected keyboard mode storing device. Thus, the keyboard is conditioned into the previous selected optional language keyboard mode by simply selecting the multilingual mode, thereby simplifying and improving keyboard mode selection operations.
