Yes, you should use this way to explore the keyboard.
Be prepaired to learn again because it's not like English. Ciryllic alphabet
has more letters than English. For example Bulgarian has 30 letters. In Russian
there are 33. But don't worry, save your worryes for learning chinees.
For more information about cyrillic and russian alphabet you can look here

Mark, There should be a utility with your screen reader which allows you to
explore the keyboard and have keys spoken without them actually doing anything.

Hi Negoslav and George - thanks for this.
Once I've installed the new language though, how does one go about finding
out what keys do what on the new keyboard layout, would there perhaps be
documentation in Windows Help? I'm thinking in the case of Russian as it uses a
completely different alphabet, then it would be in a way learning to type all
over again?
Hope I've made enough sense there *Smile*.

Control panel, regional and language options, languages tab, details
button. Using the add button you land on a list where you choose Russian
language. Tab once and you are in a list where you can select keyboard layout
for different languages. be sure Russian is chosen. and activate the ok button.
Tab again to ok, do this once again and you're set to use the russian alphabet.
You change between English and Russian with alt+shift.

Thanks Negoslav. Now how about producing the Cyrillic alphabet on a
keyboard, can you point me in the direction of any hints. So far a Google
search has yielded little success.

You need the Russian voice installed. No way for eloquence or other
English synthesizers or voices to read the Cyrillic alphabet.

HI Guys,
I'm imminently going to be embarking upon a Russian course, some of
which is going to be in written form learning the alphabet etc. I'm a JFW 10
user, and I'm just wondering what exactly I need to do in order to get it to
recognise the various characters...I presume I need to install Russian support
using the standard tools provided by Vista? Currently when I encounter Russian
letters, I get no feedback whatsoever, or in the case of a Webpage, I am
informed that the characters are indeed Russian if the appropriate Markup has
been used.
If anyone has any experience of dealing with the Russian alphabet, or
any other alphabet other than our vernacular Roman, any advice would be
appreciated.
Mark
