Use English Keyboard Layout, but output Russian Language.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. If you are using an external (English) keyboard, then you can go to
   Settings > Time & Language > Language > Click on
   Add a language.
   
2. Then, search for Russian language under
   Preferred languages, and then select Options.
   
3. Select Download from the Download language pack option.
   
4. After the language pack is installed, go back and choose a language from the
   Windows display language menu.
   
5. Restart the computer once for the changes to take effect.
   

For more information on input and display, you may also refer Manage
your input and display language settings in Windows 10.



The above steps will change the system language to Russian and you can use the external keyboard to type the Russian language from English keyboard.



I've tried replicating the same thing on a Touch Keyboard and using
On-Screen Keyboard, but we cannot change these settings for a Touch Keyboard or an On-Screen Keyboard. If you want to make these changes to Touch Keyboard or an On-Screen Keyboard, then I suggest you to post your feedback in
Feedback Hub. Our developers are collating
suggestions for the improvement of your experience in using input and display language settings.

Russian Language and Cortana

Hello,

Just following up again:

My problem is that having the Russian language pack installed, in addition to my primary (OS) language, breaks the Cortana voice-input feature; which dominos into breaking Cortana entirely until the system is rebooted. The only to fix this, is to
uninstall the Russian language pack.

To be clear, I'm not trying to use the Russian language with Cortana, only the keyboard for chatting and learning software.
So this is to clear up this bug, not look for additional language support for Cortana.

However, it's a real pain to install the language pack, do my studying, and then have to uninstall the language pack + reboot to get Cortana working again.

Can anyone offer some suggestions?
