    Good job dude!

    Edit: ..... but also, my Russian-speaking friend in Kharkov often writes "ja" instead of "ya" (I mean English "I").........

    I hope a lot of native-Russian speakers will help all of us here! Or is there another thread that's trying to accomplish this? I've searched, and maybe I found another topic, but if so, I lost it and it's hard to find it again ......?

    1.Control Panel
    2.Date,Time,Language, and Reigonal Options
    3.Add Other Langagues
    4.(in that window thing) Details
    5.(make sure the top tab is in settings)Add
    6.Input language - Find Russian.

    After you find Russian, hit OK.
    On your taskbar, there should be an EN box on the right.

    When you click EN, you'll get a small menu showing all the languages you chose

    EN=English
    RU=Russian

    When ever you want to write in bulgarain, just click RU. Then when you want to write back in enlish, click EN


    **keep in mind, the russian keyboard does not match up with the english keyboard!

    Why? What did you do? ........

    Until/unless someone else answers, I assume it's the feminine form of vinovatyj /виноватый ... guilty.
