The `normal' way is the way you can use the keyboard in all Mac
applications. I don't know if the exact keys depend on the language, I
have an International English keyboard. You can find out about the keys by
running the /Applications/Utilities/Key Caps application.

For example to enter the character á you first press ALT+e which selects
the accent, followed by a. Other accents are ¨ (ALT+u), ` (ALT+`), ^
(ALT+i). Some special characters are even simpler like å (ALT+a).

On the other hand iso-transl can be used by putting (require iso-transl)
in your .emacs file. You can the use C-x 8 ' a to get á and similer for
most latin-1 characters.
And emacs has many more input modes which you can select with C-x RET C-\
(set-input-method). See the emacs manual.
