Thread: Typing Cyrillic with Chrome?

In FF there's an add-on that allows you to use your keyboard to type in Cyrillic and the letters correspond to the English sounds e.g. if you hit the F key you input Ф. Is there anything similar for using in Chrome?
thanks

Hi sperk, I also use translit, but not the FF add-on. Check this out: http://translita.appspot.com/download.html
That makes the translit usable throughout Windows.

that sounds interesting but when I try and run it I get "this is not a valid win32 application." Do you have any idea what's going on?
thanks

Try doing the following and let me know:

1. Navigate to http://translita.appspot.com/download.html

2. Click on Zip (the direct link is http://translita.appspot.com/TranslitA_Bin.zip )

3. After you download the .zip file, extract all (two) compressed files somewhere (e.g. to your desktop). Among those two files there will be a file named TranslitA.exe

4. Run the TranslitA.exe once.

5. When you want to turn on/off Russian, press Ctrl+Shift on the keyboard once, release and start typing in any program.

Have fun!

this thing is great, it works anywhere, I don't even use the clunky FF add-on anymore:
Google Input Tools for Windows

Anything that is 'Windows ONLY' is pure suckage. What is that in Russian? LOL

Just a joke... Don't throw Okroshka or Borsh at me, please!!!

I rarely use Chrome but did you go to the 'web store' page and enter either 'Russian' or 'Russian transliteration' in the search field?

https://chrome.google.com/webstore?hl=en-US

Я рекомендую вам чтобы привыкнуть к умолчанию о русской клавиатуры на ранней стадии.

It seems to me that it's not hard to learn to type in Russian the normal way. I am sure it's better than whatever phonetic is.
E.g. here is one free program: Все10

I think you can also get Russian keyboard in apple store, I mean the US apple store, I haven't bought it yet, but I suppose it's just a regular bilingual keyboard like the one they use in Russia.

Lol, why to use programs like that? Isn't it easier to buy some stickers with Russian letters on Amazon.com (I ordered some there) for the keyboard?

After working with it Google Input Tools for Windows wasn't all that great...
