: Check the "Compute" section on Brama. All the necessary software is there - just read through the "cyrillicizing" instructions. Most new computers come with the Windows cyrillic fonts nowadays, so you don't usually need to install a font unless you need something fancy.

: The keyboard, however, is another story - Microsoft hasn't quite gotten that one right, and it's very difficult to type when you have no idea where the letters are, so you have to download a keyboard program that works for you. The Brama keyboard offers the typical Ukrainian layout, as well as a built-in option for phonetic keys (where M is m, T is t, etc, and only the oddball ukrainian letters have to be fitted on the extra keys). Anyway, the bottom line is you get both and it's free.

: Otherwise, check the links - there are a couple of resources listed where you can purchase software.

: : When my fiance comes to the US, she will want to be able to write e-mail in Ukrainian to her friends back home. Is there a special keyboard we can buy or software that will enable her to do this on an "English" based computer?
