how do I read russian language?

I have few notpad files in russian language but the russian characters look like this

Âû óâåðåíû, ÷òî õîòèòå óäàëèòü òåêóùóþ ññûëêó?

Im using xp home edition sp2. how do I install russian language support?

 

http://translate.google.com/

Click on upload a document

 

yeah finally I did that..

actually the page was php coding google dont accept that.. so I just copy pasted the whole text in notpad & then translated. really headache

 

When I type below it into translate.google.com , it auto detects as Vietnamese

Âû óâåðåíû, ÷òî õîòèòå óäàëèòü òåêóùóþ ññûëêó?

 

It says "Dear friend, can you translate this?"...
Maybe,..hehe....

 

2ghyper, you have problem with cyrillic codepage...try change it in your browser (for exmaple to windows-1251 or koi8-r etc)
and may be you have on your computer is not installed support Cyrillic.
also can use on-line decoder for codepage (for example artlebedev{dot}ru/tools/decoder/)
it's text ГÂû óâåðåíû, ÷òî õîòèòå óäàëèòü òåêóùóþ ññûëêó? = in codepage cp-1251(windows1251) "Вы уверены, что хотите удалить текущую ссылку?" = "Are you sure you want to delete the current link?"

 

translate.ru good for translate too

 

I thnik you can take good Trnsletter....

 

I recommend good soft - translators from the company ABBY or PROMPT

 

best way is by learning the language, lol

 

simple make it to translate in English that's it

 

u should search for this on google...download ebooks for learning russian

 

You need to view the text using a font that has russian unicode characters
