Forgive me...since my knowledge of Russian is severely limited, I don't know how often I will visit this board.

The reason I do visit is because the artwork here is fabulous, and I love it. Maybe I could make a few friends.

I have neighbours who are from Russian that can help me read the text in their spare time, but I don't think that's convenient.

What else to do expect get some help reading it here?

Thanks if you can!

Well... I'd like to help, but afraind my english not enough good for it. I can try :)

That is up to you. If it doesn't bother anyone that I type in English here, I can continue to do so for those who wish to learn English.

I'm already in the process of learning German, but I suppose adding a bit of Russian wouldn't hurt.

The only thing I found out that was odd was the и character in your alphabet, whether you still use that or not. (That is the only Russian character I can type, interestingly enough).

Edit: Hmm, odd, it is supposed to be an E with two dots over the top, but the character shows up as a backwards N for some reason (I do not know what that character is.)

Ok, i`ve stopped fooling around, and probably my logins will stop
being deleted by Sarafina %)

Try PROMTs online translator,
it`s a web engine for text\html translation.

You can post a text there, or let it chew some
russian apge, and you`ll get english translated page as an output.

Here you go

If it will translate something into shit,
ask me, i think i can help you

Be careful using the word "shit," that has negative connotation and is a form of profanity. Use "garbage" instead.

Well, trying to translate something:

Это - испытание.

When I paste the text, the letters show up as Germanic linguistics, but after I post, hopefully it should show up correctly.

It should say "This is a test."

Sorry :/
Yeah, sounds and reads good!
German chars were because your font
didn`t had a russian layout.
Well, it translated word "test" like "challenge".
We have a word "test" in russian,
just written in our letters,
like this: Тест

P.S.
Hint: Try to install russian fonts using your
MS Windows install program.

I do have Russian fonts installed. That's the only reason I can read it.

However, I have to switch between fonts and keyboard layouts before I can type Russian...that takes alot of time.

Every time I type a non-English character on my keyboard here, it will show up as a Russian character after I post it. But if I went to an English board and typed a non-English character, it would show up the way I typed it, because of the Unicode translation.

Russian is on a completely different system than German, English, Norwegian, Spanish, and so on.

I can't use your tip, because I am a Macintosh user.

TSG: E with two points above is pronaunced like 'yo'
It's like O with umlaut in german

"Yo" in English sounds different than what you're thinking from the German "OE," but I understand what you're saying.
