Creating Foreign Language Texts with Windows 2000/ 2003/ XP (TX2)

Keyboard layout for the Russian font
In the Russian keyboard layout, there are also some ASCII special characters
which are missing, such as #$[]{}'`|~&.
For these languages it therefore makes sense to use Word files with two languages
as described in Section 3.7 Multi-language Word files.
Note
Switch the keyboard to Latin only if this is absolutely necessary! When doing so,
do not switch over for individual letters, but only for complete words and
sentences.
Never use words with mixed codings!
Note
Find out whether and to what extent certain German, English or international
abbreviations (e.g. DIN/ISO) may or must be written using Latin fonts, or whether
a conversion (ДИН/ИСО) is more appropriate according to the conventions of the
country in question.
The key assignment for combinations, such as Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Z, Alt-A, etc.
normally follow the US keyboard layout.

3.9 Special considerations when working with East Asian texts

Precondition
To author or correct texts in Japanese, Chinese or Korean, you will need to have
installed the corresponding expansion package for the operating system.
Checking the system installation for Windows 2000/ 2003
To check your installation, proceed as follows:
• Open the Control Panel ("Start" → "Settings" → "Control Panel").
• In the "Control Panel", select "Regional Options".
• Click on the "General" tab in the "Regional Options" dialog box.
• You can see the installed language families in the lower part of the window
under "Language settings for the system".
• Check whether the language family you want to use has been activated.
