About this manual
This manual explains how to install your Cyrillic Language Kit. You
will also learn how to designate which of your application programs should be opened in Russian (or another language using
Cyrillic characters), and how to use the new control panels and
menus that the language kit adds to your system software.
Here is how to use this manual:
1. Decide which parts of the Cyrillic Language Kit you
want to install.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of this manual to install
the Cyrillic Language Kit for Bulgarian, Russian, or Ukrainian.
2. Display Cyrillic filenames and folder names correctly.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 to adjust the Views
control panel so that you can read Cyrillic filenames.
3. Display Cyrillic menus correctly in your Russian (or
other language) application programs.
Most application programs display menus correctly after you
install the Cyrillic Language Kit. Follow the instructions in
Chapter 3 of this manual to designate Cyrillic as the script for
your Bulgarian, Russian, or Ukrainian program.
4. To find out more about the Cyrillic language support
you have installed, read Chapter 4 of this manual.
Chapter 4 explains how to use the new Keyboards menu, and
how to set your Text and Keyboard control panels to
customize your computer’s Cyrillic capabilities. It also displays
the keyboard layouts provided with the language kit.
About the Cyrillic Language Kit
The Cyrillic Language Kit contains all the software you need to
work in Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, or other languages using
Cyrillic characters on your computer. You can use your
computer’s Cyrillic capabilities in two ways:
m If you have a Macintosh application program that has been
localized for use in Russian or other Cyrillic-script languages,
the menus, dialog boxes, help messages, and other elements
will be displayed in that language.
A-1
m You can enter English and Cyrillic-script languages in a single
document, using almost any Cyrillic or non-Cyrillic
application program.
The Cyrillic Language Kit includes:
m System software resources needed for Cyrillic-script
languages.
m Three Cyrillic TrueType and PostScript fonts:
APC Courier, Bastion, and Latinski
m Three Cyrillic bitmap fonts:
Requirements

m An internal or external hard disk drive.
m A floppy disk drive capable of reading high-density
(1.4-megabyte) floppy disks, or a CD-ROM drive.
Chapter 2
Setting Up
Before you can use the Cyrillic Language Kit you must install the
software. You may also want to consider setting your Views
control panel to display Cyrillic file and folder names correctly on
your screen.
Installing the Cyrillic Language Kit from the
compact disc
If your computer has a CD-ROM drive, you can install the Cyrillic
Language Kit from the Macintosh Cyrillic Language Kit CD disc
that came with your kit. To use the CD-ROM for installation,
follow the instructions in the next section of this manual,
“Installing the Cyrillic Language Kit from Floppy Disks.” The
procedure is the same, but you won’t have to swap disks.
Everything you need is contained on the CD-ROM disc.
Installing the Cyrillic Language Kit from
floppy disks
3 megabytes of space on your hard disk. This space is made
available to you again after installation is completed.
Your Cyrillic Language Kit includes four disks. You will need three
of these disks for English installation, Install 1, English,
Install 2, and Install 3. Have these disks ready before you begin.
The Installer provides you with four installation choices:
m Bulgarian installation (includes the Bulgarian keyboard layout,
the Cyrillic-QWERTY transliterated keyboard layout, and six
Cyrillic fonts).
m Russian installation (includes the Russian keyboard layout, the
Cyrillic-QWERTY transliterated keyboard layout, and six
Cyrillic fonts).
m Ukrainian installation (includes the Ukrainian keyboard layout,
the Cyrillic-QWERTY transliterated keyboard layout, and six
Cyrillic fonts).
m Optional items, including Cyrillic PostScript fonts, and
additional keyboard layout choices.
v Note: To find out more about the keyboard layouts included in
your Cyrillic Language Kit, read Chapter 4 of this manual. v
The installation process automatically makes a backup copy of
your System Folder (to protect the contents during installation of
the Cyrillic Language Kit). The backup copy uses approximately
A-3
Unless you’ve already installed Bulgarian, Russian, or Ukrainian
language support, you should install at least one of these choices. You
can choose as many of the optional installation items as you want.
1. Quit any open application programs.
If you have any virus-detection software, turn it off.
v Note: It’s best to start your computer with all extensions
turned off before doing the installation. To do so, hold the
Shift key down while your computer is starting. v
2. Insert the Install 1, English disk into your floppy disk
drive (or insert the Macintosh Cyrillic Language Kit
CD disc into your CD-ROM drive).
You should see the Installer icon in the Install 1, English
disk’s window.
3. Open the Installer by double-clicking its icon.
6. Click the items you want to install to select them.
Click the
checkbox
of each
item you
want to
install.
Make sure this is
the name of the
disk where you
want to install the
language kit.
Click here to
switch to a
different disk
for installation.
Click here to
install the Cyrillic
Language Kit.
7. Click Install.
Messages tell you when you need to insert another disk. It
takes a few minutes to complete the installation.
A welcome screen appears.
4. Click Continue.
The Custom Install dialog box appears.
5. Make sure that the hard disk named is the one where
you want to install Cyrillic.
If a different disk name appears, click the Switch Disk button
until you see the name of the correct disk.
A-4
Chapter 2: Setting Up
8. If you see a message telling you to restart your
computer, choose Restart.
v Note: If you installed on a disk different from your startup
disk, you will first be asked to quit the Installer application.
You must designate the hard disk where you installed the
Cyrillic Language Kit as your startup disk, then restart your
computer to activate Cyrillic language support. v
Your computer now supports the Cyrillic writing system.
Displaying Cyrillic filenames correctly
If you have files and folders with Cyrillic names on your computer,
you may find that your system can’t correctly display these Cyrillic
names. This can happen if the font your system currently uses for
file and folder names is not appropriate for Cyrillic.
For example, many people use the Geneva font for file and folder
names, but Geneva contains only characters for English and other
languages that use the Roman character set (such as French,
Spanish, and German).
The Latinski font installed with the Cyrillic Language Kit contains
Cyrillic characters as well as the most commonly used Roman
characters. You can view Cyrillic file and folder names correctly by
setting the Views control panel to Latinski.
Follow these steps to set the Views control panel:
1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu.
2. Open the Views control panel.
3. Press the “Font for views” pop-up menu.
4. Choose Latinski (or any other Cyrillic font you prefer).
Choose Latinski.
5. Close the Views control panel.
Most Cyrillic application programs display Cyrillic correctly after
you install the Cyrillic Language Kit. If you have an application
program that does not display the menus correctly, follow the
instructions in Chapter 3 to designate Cyrillic as the script for your
Cyrillic program.
v Note: If your computer’s primary language uses the Roman
character set, but is not English, specifying a Cyrillic font in
the Views control panel may cause some difficulties in reading
file and folder names that use Roman characters. This is
because the Cyrillic fonts do not contain umlauts, accents, and
some other non-English Roman characters and symbols. v
If you have more than one language kit installed, you may want to
continue using the Geneva font, since a Cyrillic font will not
contain the characters for other language kits.
Chapter 2: Setting Up

Installing SimpleText Bulgarian, Russian,
or Ukrainian
SimpleText is a basic multilingual text-editing program that
supports Cyrillic characters, as well as all other available writing
systems. This program is not automatically installed with your
language kit. If you wish to install it, follow these steps:
5. Drag the preferred SimpleText Cyrillic icon to your
hard disk.
1. Do one of the following:
If you have a CD-ROM drive, insert the CD Install disc into
the CD-ROM drive. Otherwise, insert the Install 1, English
disk into your floppy drive.
2. When the floppy disk or CD-ROM disc icon appears on
the screen, double-click it to open it.
3. Locate the SimpleText Cyrillic folder.
If you don’t see the SimpleText Cyrillic folder in the window,
resize the window to make it larger, or scroll the window to
see more.
4. Double-click the SimpleText Cyrillic folder to open it.
If you have more than one version of SimpleText on your
computer—for instance, SimpleText Ukrainian and an English
version—the wrong version may start when you try to open a
SimpleText file. Instead of opening a SimpleText file directly, first
open the version of SimpleText you want to use, then choose
Open from the File menu to open your file.
v Note: Your existing version of SimpleText will also support
Cyrillic text entry. SimpleText Cyrillic is not required to use the
Cyrillic Language Kit. v
Removing the Cyrillic Language Kit from
your system
If you wish to remove the Cyrillic Language Kit from your system,
use the Installer to remove all the files that provide Cyrillic
language support.
If you have other language kits on your system, don’t worry. The
Installer will not remove any support needed for your other
languages.

Chapter 3
Choosing a Language for
Your Application Program
Now that your computer can work in more than one language, it
must have a way to determine which programs must be opened
with the Cyrillic script.
The Cyrillic Language Register program
Application programs contain a region code that tells your system
which language and font should be used for menus, dialog boxes,
help balloons, and other items. Some programs, however, contain
region codes that don’t specify the preferred language.
Suppose you open a Russian program whose region code does
not specify Cyrillic. With your Cyrillic Language Kit you can work
in the program, but you won’t be able to read the menus, dialog
boxes, and help balloons.
To remedy this problem, a Cyrillic Language Register program is
supplied with your Cyrillic Language Kit. You can use the
Language Register to “register” the programs you want to use in
Cyrillic. You may not need to register all your Cyrillic-based
programs—only those in which menus don’t appear with the
correct characters.
Registering your program for Cyrillic
You need only register a program once. After it is registered, a
program always opens in the language you specified, unless you
reinstall it or re-register it in a different language.
To register a program:
1. Open the Cyrillic Language Register.
Double-click here to
open the Cyrillic
Language Register.
You’ll find the Cyrillic Language Register in the Apple Extras
folder on the hard disk where you installed the kit.
2. Click the Register Application button.
Select Russian
for all
Cyrillic-based
applications.
Click Register
Application.
A list of application programs and folders appears.
A-9
3. Select the application program you want to register.
If the program
you want to
register is not
listed, use this
menu to see
files in other
folders.
Creating a Roman Language Register
If you register a program for Cyrillic by accident, you can change it
back to your computer’s primary language by following these
steps:
1. Open the Cyrillic Language Register.
2. Pull down the Language menu.
3. Choose English.
4. Click OK.
Click the program you
want to register.
4. Click the Register button.
Now you can open your program and begin working.
v Tip: You can use a short-cut method to register your
programs. If the program you want to register is open,
quit it. Then drag the program’s icon to the icon for the
Cyrillic Language Register. When the Language Register
icon is highlighted, release the mouse button. A message
confirms that the program is registered. v
A-10
Chapter 3: Choosing a Language for Your Application Program
Your Cyrillic Language Register changes to a Roman Language
Register. You can now use it to re-register programs as Roman.
v Hint: As a convenience, you can create additional language
registers for any of the languages installed on your system,
then use the short-cut method described at left to register
your programs. v

Languages
Now that you have installed the Cyrillic Language Kit, your system
supports at least two languages: your primary language and a
Cyrillic-script language.
When you add another language to your computer, you have new
choices about how text should appear on your desktop and in
documents. The more languages your computer supports, the
more choices you have.
This chapter explains choosing a keyboard layout from the
Keyboards menu, and setting the Keyboard and Text control
panels to tailor how your computer displays text. It also provides
information about the different keyboard layouts provided with
your Cyrillic Language Kit.
What are scripts?
Your Macintosh supports multiple languages and their writing
systems through software known as a script system. A script
system tells your computer what characters the script contains,
and which keystrokes produce them. The script system also
specifies the direction of text flow (left to right or right to left),
For instance, if you are working in English, your system uses the
Roman script. The Roman character set is available, and text flows
from left to right.
If you are working in Bulgarian, Russian, or Ukrainian, your system
uses the Cyrillic script. The Cyrillic character set is available, and
text also flows from left to right.
The same script can be used by several languages if they share
most of the same characters. For example, Roman script is used
for English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
Examples of Macintosh scripts and corresponding languages
Roman English, French, German, Italian, Spanish
Cyrillic Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian,
Macedonian, Belorussian
Hebrew Hebrew, Yiddish
Japanese Japanese
Traditional Chinese Traditional Chinese
Simplified Chinese Simplified Chinese
Korean Korean
Arabic Arabic, Persian
A-11
Primary and secondary scripts
The script used by your system software—the language in the
menus, dialog boxes, and other items on the screen—is your
computer’s primary script. If you install a language kit that uses a
different script, that script becomes a secondary script for your
system. For example, if your system is English, and you install the
Cyrillic Language Kit, your system’s primary script is Roman, and
its secondary script is Cyrillic.
Choosing a keyboard layout
In the upper-right of your screen, you’ll see a Keyboards menu in
the menu bar. The Keyboards menu is available on any system
with more than one language installed.
To choose a keyboard layout while working in an application
program, you can do one of the following:
m Pull down the Keyboards menu and choose the keyboard
layout you want to use. You can now type in the language
corresponding to the layout you selected.
m If you know what’s listed in the Keyboards menu, press
x–Space Bar to switch to the next section of the list without
opening the menu. Press x–Option–Space Bar to switch to
the next choice within the same section.
You may also need to change keyboard layouts while working on
the desktop. If you want to edit a Cyrillic file or folder name, you
first need to select a Cyrillic keyboard font in the Views control
panel (see Chapter 2).
The Cyrillic Language Kit keyboard layouts
The Cyrillic Language Kit offers six different keyboard layouts:
m the Bulgarian keyboard layout
m the Russian keyboard layout
m the Ukrainian keyboard layout
m the Cyrillic-QWERTY (English) transliterated keyboard layout
If you work in two languages, you can switch from one language
to another by choosing the appropriate keyboard layout from the
Keyboards menu. For example, you can type a document in
Cyrillic that includes passages in English, all using the correct
fonts and characters.

About the Cyrillic transliterated keyboard layouts
The Bulgarian keyboard layout
You should use the standard Bulgarian, Russian, or Ukrainian
keyboard layout if you are already familiar with this layout.
Otherwise, you may want to choose one of the transliterated
keyboard layouts. The transliterated keyboard layouts phonetically
map the Cyrillic characters to the standard QWERTY (English),
AZERTY (French), or QWERTZ (German) keyboard layout.
The following illustrations depict the six keyboard layouts
provided with the Cyrillic Language Kit. Three sets of keycaps
labels are delivered with each Cyrillic Language Kit, for the
Bulgarian, Russian, and Ukrainian keyboard layouts.

The Keyboard control panel
The Text control panel
Use the Keyboard control panel to choose which keyboard layout
is the default—the one automatically selected in your Keyboards
menu—for each script on your system.
The keyboard layouts displayed in the Keyboard control panel
correspond to the script and language currently selected in your
Keyboards menu. For instance, if the U.S. keyboard is currently
selected in your Keyboards menu, the Keyboard control panel lists
all the keyboard layouts available for the Roman script.
If you want to set the default keyboard layout for the Cyrillic
script, choose a Cyrillic keyboard in the Keyboards menu, and
then follow the instructions given here.
To set the default Cyrillic keyboard layout:
1. Choose Control Panels in the Apple (K) menu.
2. Open the Keyboard control panel.
The current default keyboard is selected.
3. Select a new default keyboard layout.
As explained at the beginning of this chapter, the same script can
be used by more than one language. Two languages that share the
same script may have different rules for such things as sorting
order or capitalization. When more than one set of rules exists for
the script you are using, you can use the Text control panel to
specify which rules you want to apply. For your primary script, the
rules also determine how file and folder names are sorted on your
desktop.

Troubleshooting
I changed my Views control panel to the Latinski font, but
I still see odd characters in my Cyrillic application
program.
This section contains information about some common problems
you may encounter while working on a computer that supports
Cyrillic.
I see odd characters that I can’t read in some of my file
and folder names.
The font your system is using for file and folder names may not
contain any Cyrillic characters. Cyrillic names can’t be properly
displayed unless your system uses a font that contains Cyrillic
characters. Choose Latinski in your Views control panel (see the
section “Displaying Cyrillic Filenames Correctly” in Chapter 2).
The Latinski font contains Cyrillic characters as well as the most
commonly used Roman characters. You can usually view Cyrillic
and Roman file and folder names correctly by setting the Font for
views to Latinski.
If you still see odd characters on your screen, read on.
Your system may not recognize your Cyrillic program as Cyrillic.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of this manual to register
your program as Cyrillic.
I changed my Views control panel to the Latinski font,
and now I can’t read some of my non-Cyrillic file and
folder names.
If you have file or folder names that contain non-English Roman
characters, such as accents or umlauts, they will not be correctly
displayed after you change the Views control panel to the Latinski
font. A few other characters, such as typographic quotation marks
and ellipses, also will not be correctly displayed. This is because
the Latinski font does not have a complete set of Roman characters, only the most commonly used ones.
In the Views control panel, choose a font that will correctly
display your non-Cyrillic file and folder names. Then use nonCyrillic names for all your files and folders, even those that
contain Cyrillic.
A-23
Setting the Views control panel to Latinski is necessary only to
read Cyrillic file and folder names. If you don’t set the Views
control panel, you will still see Cyrillic correctly displayed within
your application programs. You can write and print in Cyrillic;
remember to give your files non-Cyrillic names.
I reinstalled one of my Cyrillic application programs. Do
I need to re-register it in Cyrillic?
If the name of your program changes, you must re-register it. See
Chapter 4 for instructions on registering a program in Cyrillic.
I changed my Views control panel to the Latinski font,
but I still see odd characters in my Application menu.

computer have been solved. Unfortunately, the Application menu
cannot display Cyrillic names, even after you set your Views
control panel to a Cyrillic font. The names of your Cyrillic application programs will not be correctly displayed in the Application
menu and in certain dialog boxes.
Icons appearing in the Application menu next to each program’s
name will help you to identify your Cyrillic programs.
I can’t edit a Cyrillic file or folder name.
You may have a non-Cyrillic keyboard selected in the Keyboards
menu. Pull down the Keyboards menu and select a Cyrillic
keyboard.
For more information on the Keyboards menu, see Chapter 4.
I can’t work in Cyrillic with my usual application
program.
Your application program may not be completely compatible with
other scripts. If it isn’t, it won’t automatically switch to a Cyrillic
font when you select a Cyrillic keyboard, or it may not let you see
all the Cyrillic fonts in the font menu.
Since I installed the Cyrillic Language Kit, unwanted
keyboard layouts appear in my Keyboards menu. How do
I remove them?
To remove unnecessary keyboard layouts, open the System file in
the System folder. Select the unnecessary keyboard layouts and
drag them to the Trash or into a temporary folder.
Since I installed the Cyrillic Language Kit, I can no longer
work with some of my other application programs, even
in Roman.
This may be caused by a lack of memory. The Cyrillic Language
Kit, when installed, is automatically loaded in memory at startup
along with system software. Your system software takes up more
space in memory, and the amount of memory available for
programs decreases.
