    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!!!
