  1. Mac fo life

    Well, no not for life but for the last four years of my life.

    Also I feel you, it looks hard but once you know what the letters are and once you actually use the keyboard a couple of times you see it's not so bad. It's the same as learning to type in English like I'm sure you had to do in grade school :P

    The Armenian layout is A LOT harder though because there are 38 or so letters in the alphabet, and there are basically two letters for some English ones. Two letters for e, v, t, k, p, r, j, ts/tz sound - it gets a little crazy. On the OS X layout you have to press ALT + a letter to get the second version.

  2. Yeah Chris you're right, you have to memorize some keys. It's not really that difficult, though

    That's the keyboard layout I use, as you can see the [ ] \ - + keys all become letters. I just hit Apple (Control) + Space to switch between keyboard layouts, so it's still pretty convenient.

    I used to copy and paste letters from the Armenian alphabet Wikipedia page whenever I needed to write something - that was a fucking pain. Then I realized I could just use a keyboard :P

  3. It's not a translator, it's a keyboard. You add the keyboard layout to your options, and memorize the layout for whatever you have. I use US English, Russian Phoenetic, and Eastern Armenian. The Phoenetic one makes it a little easier since the Russian layout isn't structured like US English, but the Phoenitic one puts keys where I'd be used to them (Russian equivalent of 'p' comes up when I press 'p' for example)
