Just thought this service might be helpful for those russian-learners who experience problems with russian layout on their computer: http://www.yandex.ru/keyboard_abc.html.
All instructions are on the page. But I should warn you, this page didn't work correct in Opera for me, in IE it works fine.
There are some buttons with labels on russian: the right-bottom is "select all", the left-bottom is "erase all", and the second from the bottom on the left is "sort in alphabet order" which changes to "sort in qwerty order" by clicking on it.

Maybe there exist more handy tools, but I found this one rather nice.

P.S. Sorry for the mistakes.

Hi all,
I'm helping translate a few sentences into Russian for an author. Unfortunately, i've never had the pleasure of being arrested by Russian-speaking cops, so i'm iffy on how they say things like "confess."
What i need to translate is:
I know you speak English, so speak it, okay? Now talk, or I mis-translate and say you're confessing to everything.
And what i've got so far is:
Я знаю, что ты говарешь английский язык - по-английски говарей, да? Ну, говарей, или я [mistranslate] и сказу что ты признавал все.
(yeah, my spelling's shot right now, but i need to transliterate it for him anyway…)
I can't for the life of me figure out "mis-translate" - my dictionary's got "to translate" and "to make a mistake" and i can figure out "to make a mistake translating" from there, but i'm not sure how accurate it would be. And i very rarely put that many Russian words together without at least a few grammar mistakes >_<
Any help?
