I hope to purchase native "Nordic" and "Cyrillic/Russian" USB keyboards.
I exchange emails with Swedish and Finnish writers, and recently a Berlin author writing a Russian language book. Multinational geekiness for a monolingual American. Google translate is often helpful, and I can cut and paste from that, but sometimes I need to type the special letters in these languages; remembering and typing the digraphs is a pain. I can plug multiple USB keyboards into a desktop or laptop. If a Nordic or Cyrillic keyboard emits two-byte unicode, I can probably spell words that "look right" in these other languages. But I'm not sure. Does anyone on the plug list have experience using multiple keyboards and alternate character sets? Suggested vendors for those keyboards? Helpful Linux tools for linguistic cripples? Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected]
