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
