How to use Keyboard Layout section of Control Panel to actuate Russian keyboard
for Windows vii,8,10/Vista and XP/2003

This page is a office of my site'due south Chapter "Russian keyboard: standard and phonetic"

Keyboard layout specifies how letters and symbols are located on the keyboard buttons for a given

Input Language

.
For example, when Input Language is English (shows as "EN" in the taskbar), Windows offers a set of layouts to choose from:

• US English
• Dvorak
• ...

That is, for a given Input Language, system could offer several unlike layouts (different location of messages and symbols).
Here is Microsoft page that shows the layouts for each and every Input Language in the OOB organization: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.mspx

A user opens Keyboard Layouts department of Control Console if there is a need to add a layout or to cheque that desired layout is selected as agile for an Input Linguistic communication
(for example, check if it'due south "United states English" and not "British English" for "EN" if errouneously Shift-2 gives a quote instead of '@')

Besides, if user finds that say something is wrong/strange in the typing, s/he may want to visit that section to make sure that but ane layout is selected for the Input Language.
The system must be presented with merely one agile layout per linguistic communication otherwise how Windows would know what symbol to bear witness when a push is pressed (quote or '@' equally in example below)?.

The steps needed to access Keyboard Layout section of Control Console do vary from one Windows version to another and all variants are listed below. The steps employ standard Russian Keyboard layout as an example ("RU" becomes available in the taskbar via Alt+Shift switch from "EN"), simply they are the aforementioned for whatsoever other European language.

Note. Windows offers ii Russian keyboard layouts in OOB system (every bit you can see on Microsoft folio mentioned above):

• standard, regular one chosen "Russian"
• alternative - "Russian, Typewriter" where digits are typed via Shift as on old mechanical typewriters in USSR.

Here is how standard, regular Russian keyboard layout looks like (location of letters and symbols - in red):

That is, even in that example you should not transport a transliteration, latin text such every bit "privet" or "schast'ye" that volition bother the readers of that message - no, you tin transport normal Cyrillic text.
