I can understand this, if not use it. My translation students are
capable, but they have to work on the University's locked down
systems. As we are in Australia, the keyboard is set to US English,
with no accents etc. Like I said, they are capable enough to discover
work arounds, but they are also looking for workflow pace - and being
able to search accent free would be a boon to their productivity
