I'm playing Larry 7 in French now, and I need to tell Larry to fart. (péter) Unfortunately, the game doesn't accept "peter," and I can't seem to type accents. How am I intended to type this word? (And I'm sure German players have it worse. Don't German verbs have lots of umlauts?)

Doh I'm boneheaded. Solved my own problem right after asking the question. I switched to a Canadian French keyboard and typer p/ter. (I think) And that let me type it. I imagine it's similar for German, just remember they swap y and z! Oh well, at least everyone will know now.

Though, don't some verbs use ç? I can't seem to find any letter other than é on the Canadian keyboard. How will I type them if I need to?

I don't spot letters ç or ê, which are probably needed, at least for 100% completion. :/

"For ç, type ¸ (left of "enter") and then c"

Have you tried that?
The game doesn't seem to accept dead keys, otherwise I'd just use US International.

You could have just clicked on Larry himself and chose the verb from the context menu. Actually I never needed to type in additional verbs expect for the Vicky part and for that one it doesn't matter what word you type.
My memory is a bit fuzzy but if I recall correctly, you can fart without having to use the text parser if you go eat the pea from the buffet near the casino which should temporarily grant you the "Fart" command in your contextual menu, and it can be used elsewhere this way.

But yes, back in my high school days, I've tried countless times to get these accents working and never could, and although accents are not needed to complete the game, they're needed for 100% completion (perfect score plus easter eggs) and not being able to type accents in the text parser locks you out of a whole lotta humor hidden in text parser commands. If you can read and listen English, you would probably be better off using the English version.
You know, I think it was stupid of me to reply. Sorry.
