Hello,

The Russian bookshop in Geneva, Dom Knigi, Rue du Midi 5, has the stickers for laptop keyboards (you can switch from one keyboard layout to another).

excellent, thank you... it's for a colleague and she would prefer the keyboard but maybe they can advise where we can get one.. thank you!

If you want a separate keyboard, www.pinkrus.ch (the Russian bookshop in Zürich) has got them.  You can also order online.

again, thank you

that might be the best option!

Cheers

...Or you can ask the first person who's going to Russia tio bring one.

PS: if she's cute you should introduce us. I have a black belt in keyboards :)

I meant, you can order them online from their website (I just checked, they have both several keyboards and stickers).

Cheers.

she is cute which is exactly why i don't want her asking you ;)

bad man!!

lyndsey, i checked but no dice chez moi. sorry.

Optimus Maximus Keyboard is also an option. ;)

No way! I can provide references ;)

Thanks guys... and Catalin, i think she'll pass but i will be sure to pass on your self - recommendation ;)

Sorry to be dense but if I get the stickers how do i switch from latin to cyrillic?  Don't I need to have microsoft office?  Would prefer stickers to separate keyboard

check www.translit.ru

Translates latin letters into cyrilic as you type. Easy to use.

прекрасно - спасибо большой. всё что нужно знать - писать клером.  Вероятно с ошубками но надейюсь, што понятно.

Brilliant - I know I hit the wrong key for mistake.  Thjink it should work for Bulgarian as well as

As i hardly ever type in Russian (first time in maybe 10 years or maybe ever) I think above shows how easy it is

Thanks for the help on this, it's a task i sure don't envy... i can't even master my native tongue..

You just add Russian to your languages in Windows regional settings and you can switch from the Latin to the Russian keyboard layout in the right hand bottom symbol bar.

Andrei / Lynds etc ... its equally easy when using Mac btw, add Russian to the language options and the keyboard stickers work very well... If you have Dell at work, maybe try to order online through them...

Cat... you make me shake my head in disbelief matey... is there no end to your public attempts at getting your leg over? (ps one girls idea of another girl being  "cute" may not correspond with your idea of "cute"...just a heads up in case you do close this sale, and end up face to face with a wrestler).

Shhhhh... I'm busy teasing Linsey ;)

Here's what you do: take a screwdriver and remove the R and N keys. Glue them back on upside-down to get И and Я.

There's your Яussian keyboard.

that made me laugh... good enough of a "top tip" (despite it being fundamentally flawed) to be published in Viz....

www.google.com/transliterate. Have not tried it but apparently also good

I must be bored tonight. This is what I get when I type on the site Did you know you can type like this on the site and switch it into Georgian

Dიდ yოუ ქნოვ თჰათ yოუ ცან ევენ თyფე ლიქე თჰის ონ თჰე სთე

Now isn't that useful

I know my message may be of no use but I blind type, so I have this English keyboard on which I type English & Russian :D
Yes, the language has to be added in Win and then you can associate a shortcut for switching languages (I have "Alt-Shift" but you can change it). Voila!

@fania yes, i find touch typing makes it much easier to deal with such issues. In fact, I have no choice, because I type in Dvorak which is not available in keyboard form anywhere that I know of. Well, except the above link I provided.

I hdui dtgtg hwspé duh hed¨jhedh !

(I just tried "blind typing" and look what happened... you have a true talent Fania... (if you can read this that is...)) 

Charlie "blind typing" and "drunk typing" aka "irish typing" are not one and the same...
