Using English keyboard with Persian keyboard layout

Question

Win 7 Prof x64 -I primairly use English keyboard and language, however, I'd like to be able to type in Persian/Farsi also. I've installed the language but can't get the keyboad letters to correspond with the English keyboard. I hope I'm explaining myself correctly.

Ialso have a Google Farsi input keyboard displaying on my language bar, but when I try to select it, it says "wrong version or corrupt data Please reinstall IME" There is also a Persian keyboard that types the Farsi characters but the layout does not correspond to English keyboard.

Basically, I want to type the letter A on my English keyboard and have the letter A come up in Farsi on the screen. I'm sure there is a way to do it I just don't know how. Your help will be appreciated.

Hi Sepi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. 

I can imagine the inconvenience you have experienced. Don’t worry; we will give our best to help you.

Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

I would suggest you to follow these methods and check.

Method 1: For applications that are not supporting Unicode, you might have to change the system locale which determines the default character set (letters, symbols, and numbers).

See this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-system-locale

Also refer the link mentioned below, and check if it helps:

Method 2: Reset “add an input language” settings.

a.     Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel**,**clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options.

b.    Click the Keyboards and Languages tab, and then click Change keyboards.

c.     Under Installed services, you will find Persian language, click on it, once you click on it on the right hand side you will get an option to remove the language. Click on it, click on Apply and Ok.

Dear Sir,

what you explained to Sepi2008, helped me also! I thought my problem was solved completely! But, I still have difficulties with two different things. I am sure either I have done something wrong in the process or I misunderstood somewhere! In any case, here are the problems:

 - I still see the ENGLISH NUMERIC NUMBERS with the Persian ( Farsi ) Keyboard layout! And, when I use

  them, they are ENGLISH NUMBERS!

 - After typing the PERSIAN SENTENSES, as soon as I save the document, ALL OF THE WORDS FALL APART! 

  For example,  پلاک 38  changes into  کال پ 38 !

As you see, the word پلاک is completely SWITCHED around and the NUMBER 38 which is numbers 3 and 8 in English appearing both in ENGLISH and PERSIAN (Farsi) Keyboard layout! I wish I could show you the number 38 in Farsi! which is completely different.
