Abracadabra. It's just a set of russian letters without any meaning.

[brody-pixie.livejournal.com]

I can't figure out which letter go where because I have an english keyboard so I'm all confused at the moment.

The upper sentence and lower one - are the same, but typed with keyboard switched to russion)))

[alexboogie.livejournal.com]

none of the correct words except "луны" ("of moon"), but I suppose it`s fortuity
check your Encoding

[oryx_and_crake]

No problems with encoding - he just types English letters on а keyboard switched to Russian mode (e.g. "Does" becomes вщуы that way) and expects that the English words will be transformed into Russian by some obscure magic.

[oryx_and_crake]

You are typing ENGLISH words in RUSSIAN keyboard layout and you expect that to make sense?!
Do you think that the Russian keyboard is going to instantly translate your English words to Russian that way? I cannot believe it.

THANK YOU! This community is entirely too polite sometimes.

[midianin.livejournal.com]

It's a joke, IMO.

[brody-pixie.livejournal.com]

I know it won't come out right. I needed some help figuring out a way to find out where the corret letters would go and I hoped somone could maybe give me a website with a thing that tells me or maybe could send me somewhere where i could find transparent key covers to help show me where the letters where. Sorry if you think I'm such a dumb ass.

Try to stick on Russian letters on your KB ;)

[olegmmiller.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you need an image of the russian keyboard layout you are typing with.
(http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/facilities/pc/keyboards/russian.gif) This is the Standard keyboard and any modern windows or Mac system supports input with this keyboard. If you are going to learn to type, this is the one to learn.

A non-standard layout that is much easier for beginners is here, (http://www.russianeditor.com/images/russian-keyboard.jpg) but because of my purist nature I have never tried to set one like this up. This also will not help you if you end up at another computer without the keyboard installed

[khathi.livejournal.com]

The second one is not really popular -- it's a modification of "ЯВЕРТЫ" keyboard that was vastly more common in the early times of russian computerisation when USSR was doing muss buying of machines abroad -- like Yamaha MSX for schools for example. Later usual keyboard layout switched back to russian typewriter but not without some strange idiosyncrasies like putting a colon and comma on the same key in the corner, instead of their traditional positions over "6" and "7" numerical keys.

I use this nice transliteration program:

http://www.translit.ru

You type Latin characters and the program converts them into Cyrillic ones. I think it's the best convertor available.

[oryx_and_crake]

That way "does" will turn into "доес" which is, frankly, no better than "вщуы".

If you're planning on doing a lot of typing on keyboards in Russia, then it would definitely be worth your while to learn the layout of the actual Russian keyboard (see olegmmiller's post with a link to a picture of the English keyboard and corresponding Russian letters). If, however, you're going to be typing in Russian just for yourself at home (i.e., you won't be using some public computer in Russia where you might not be able to change the keyboard layout) AND you're using Windows, then you might want to consider the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. It's a Windows program that will let you arrange your keyboard the way you want -- so that, for example, you can type Д using the "D" key (and not the "L" key, the way it's set up on the Russian keyboard)... or however you want it. You can even "combine" keyboard layouts -- I created a layout where I can type in Russian (using the keyboard arrangement that _I_ prefer) and then just have to hit the "Caps Lock" key to type in English, so I don't have to constantly switch keyboards when going from one language to the other.

If you're interested, take a look at the web page here (http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx). It'll give you all the details and the download link.

..i thought that his last post (http://community.livejournal.com/learn_russian/408114.html) was a fake. But all the people took it seriously, so I was quite confused. Oh my, now I think that it's a fake AGAIN! Tell me that's not!!

[brody-pixie.livejournal.com]

why would my post about asking how to type in russian characters be a joke? Because I'm not as advanced on the computer as you think you are? Sorry for comming to the website and asking a completely legitamate question. I thought that's what this site was for, obviously I was wronge.

[padruka1988.livejournal.com]

How dare you use the pic of one of my favorite actors... And then you write such a stupid comment? Come on, you're proving how stupid the average American is! Did you REALLY think that typing English words with Russian keys would REALLY give you Russian language??? I don't think you need Learn_Russian, I think you need Learn_Common_Sense. Убей себя ап стену!

[brody-pixie.livejournal.com]

No I didn't. I was showing an example of what I did and I wanted somone to help me find a way to get used to the russian charaters on my keyboard.

[warpod.livejournal.com]

In the movie "The Bourne Identity" there was a moment when Bourne looks at his russian passport and it reads "Foma Kinyaev" in english and "Ащьф Лштнфум" in russian. :))

[agloriousday.livejournal.com]

lmao

[colonelrabin.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose we have to extinguish the emotions a bit, OK? Mr. brody_pixie did not express his question clear enough, and we all were a bit too impatient. I think it might be not wrong to excuse ourselves.

Offtopic, sorry

[elenas.livejournal.com]

Maybe this http://www.doka.ru/files/babyold.zip will solve your problem. :) It is veeeery old DOS software for teaching kids typewriting. It is free, it is funny, it is my favorite soft for typewriting lessons, it is for different languages and keyboards, it is 128Kb. But it is full-screen - could be scary :).

About Russian letters on your keyboard - you can mark every key with a pencil (as other people said), just not the top plane (?? I am not sure it is the right word. Face? Facet? Flat?) of every key, but the front one. You can see the letters and cannot erase them during typewriting. If your keyboard is not too flat, of course.

Re: Offtopic, sorry

[eyeballmassage.livejournal.com]

i'd say side or flat

This is what I did.

[gnomygnomy.livejournal.com]

It helped a lot, especially once the letters started to wear off. That REALLY forced me to memorize the Russian keyboard, because I'm too lazy to cut, tape, and restick the letters again. :)

Re: This is what I did.

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

Oh my. So what do you do when you need the Latin layout? Or your "mechanical mamory" serves you so good that you don't look at the keyboard when ytping in English? Just curious.
I type for 20 years now, but still look at the keyboard from time to time, that's why I ask :)
