Change In Subject / Technical Help Needed

[Watcher]

Could anyone please give technical instructions how to have keyboard change from Cyrillic to English alphabet. I just purchased an English/Cyrllic keyboard. I need instructions how to toggle on /off change. Or perhaps a website address.

Thanks

You actually didn't need the dual language keyboard. I'm using my ordinary one to write letters in Russian. But you do need to memorize where the keys are. I can type in Russian at blazing several words a minute! That's before I spend the extra time to correct all my errors.

To set up the language support:
click Start
Settings
Control panel
Keyboard
Language
Add
scroll down and click on Russian

After this there should be a small square on the task bar that says EN. If you click on it you can choose English or Russian. When your computer is set to Russian this square will say RU. Or you can just hit alt+shift to toggle between the two.

Good luck.

Thats exactly what I did only instead of a keyboard, I just got some stickers for my HP keyboard. Now the wife doesn't even write in Russian, she uses the English alphabet and has some web site to translate it over to cryllic? I'll ask her for it and see if I can post it.     Here it is; http://www.ostrovok.de/filimon/  Like I said, she prefers to write "Runglish" on the keyboard back home and just convert it to cryllic.

Just use a water-fast marker pen.
