With the information & links you've given me I shouldn't have too much trouble switching keyboards. It's the learning the languages that'll take a little bit more time I think.
I noticed also, like in the Ukrainian, their letter in Cyrillic that in transcription is a 'd' is in the cursive as a 'g' (like your 't' to an 'm'). Learning the block letters, actually, the non-sans-serif, I guess, is one thing, but the handwritten threw me at first. On my first CDs by Ani Lorak I thought they were misprints. Now I know better.
Thanks again.

You really shouldn't have to log out to use the little language toolbar. When you click on it, it should give you choices (English, Turkish, etc.) and you should be able to select on and change the language right there. You have to have a window open and up front when doing that, and it changes the language for just that window (e.g., your browser, or Word, or etc.)
I presume "EL" is for something like "Ellenika" (the Greek word for Greek).

Yeah, that d-g one is a little tricky too...I guess it's because we're so programmed with English cursive that it's hard to break out. Also the Cyrillic cursive "t" and the "sh" are so close that people have to draw a line below for "sh" and above for "t" to tell them apart.
