Mac System X and Cyrillic keyboards

[Chris Tessone]

As far as I know, you probably have to buy a MacOS X localized to
Russia--oftentimes operating systems will come with localizations for a
few common languages (English, Japanese, and German don't surprise me,
especially considering you bought it in Japan), but beyond that, you're
usually sunk.

However, as OS X is built on top of a pretty vanilla BSD Unix, it still
may be possible to localize it for Russian yourself.  (You can certainly
localize any X Windows apps you have that deal with localizations fairly
easily, like emacs.)  If anyone has any resources on this, I'd be
interested, too.

Cheers,
Chris
