how to write if there is no russian keyboard layout?

How? You just add the language and the keyboard layout? Install language packs?

Personally I wish for as much realism as possible, and that means I'd love to have the cockpit seen in NATO-converted examples. That way I get English labels and some NATO standard instruments, mixed with very few Russian labels, which will be easy to learn if needed. 

So since this NATO cockpit exists, it would be a shame if they simply took a Russian Air Force cockpit and translate all labels to English. Why do an unrealistic English cockpit if a realistic English one exists in reality! 

[Gierasimov]

I guess it will be like it is with Hind. Full original cockpit and full EN translated one. 

The actual one will be dependent on reference aircraft ED is going to simulate. So far they only confirmed it is going to be 9.12 Warsaw Pact export version, however this could mean very different things as far as cockpit labels go; therefore I think it will be like it is with Hind.

[Dragon1-1]

WP military hardware typically had Russian language cockpits. Russian was usually taught in schools the way English is now, so that wouldn't have been an issue.

[pjbunnyru]

if there were screens with multiple systems and subsystems, desire for translation would be understandable.

but what cant u remember in cockpit?  location of  switches is unchanged.

Because that would also mean TACAN instead of RSBN/PRMG, a different radio, different IFF system, etc. pp. ... a lot of additional work for ED.

It would be great if there was a 'spotlight' translation, where only the area you were looking directly at was translated into your native language.

I think this is a bit too much to ask. It'd be seriously complex to implement, with little benefit.

There's already an option for cockpit labels highlighted by the mouse cursor.

[Lord_Pyro]

But this option can be toggled off for immersion. And i guess i am not the only one who did this

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

The problem I saw in Wags' latest video is that there was "knots", "feet" and "miles" everywhere on the gauges. Yes I'm aware that you can set English cockpit and English avionics options separately, but those are LANGUAGE options and it seems in DCS they also change the UNITS without saying that they do.

I hope that on launch we'll be able to set English LANGUAGE while retaining the proper UNITS. Because if you set English cockpit and Native avionics, parts of the cockpit will still be in Russian (it's like that in current modules as well such as Mi-24).
Again, those options should just affect the language, not the units.

[draconus]

It's all blasphemy. The MiG-29A should stay in native language and units but I guess it's done for american brothers convenience and their money.

Well, unfortunately my russian is non-existent. Grown up in former West Germany it wasn't the preferred foreign language.

However although used to the metric system the civilized world uses , I use this strange imperial units when flying. As almost all dimensions, metrics, tables, formulas are given in feet, knots, pounds, psi ect. I was just tired of always calculating this back and forth.

I didn’t go to school in Poland like you so I didn’t get the chance to learn Russian. I tried to do it on my own for a while but learning French, German and English on top of my native language was enough work already.

So I want to understand what I’m reading and what Nadia is saying, at the very least until I’m comfortable enough with the module. Then and only then might I switch to Russian.

There is an English cockpit which is separate from Avionics Language. Sounds like maybe you are changing the Language setting, which is for the entire sim GUI.

Yes but with ‘English cockpit’ and ‘Native avionics’, the Aekran will still display Russian messages, won’t it? And voice messages from Rita (Russian Betty) will be in Russian?

Russian Betty is called Rita, not Nadia - I misremembered

rita speaks very little, there are not many signs in russian in cockpit.
i agree, its good when there is an oportuniti to switch languages, units of measurement at will, but, in other planes there is no such oportuniti.

i woud replace miles/fet with km/metrs, well, and english with my native language.

[Dača]

Luckily, Cyrillic is official letter in my country. And I can understand something in Russian if it is simmilar. Although my English is million light years better than Russian, I'll stick to native Russian option. Just for immersion. And don't worry about Nadia. I don't listen to her anyway. No men listen to their women, anyway.

why ”Nadia”? her name is ”Rita” - Речевой Информатор
cyrilic is probabli dificult to understand, there are complex leters, u/ he/she/they need to remember them, and few people want to do that.

I wouldn't want to translate Viggen cockpit either. It's about attitude and immersion. You have a chance to learn the aircraft and its operation in the native language.

I don't know. I hear people call her like that.

I am Serbian, we use Cyrillic which poses no challenge to me. Only certain words which are not simmilar and new for me. For example "Топливо", in Serbian "Гориво". However this will be a nightmare for non Cyrillic speakers.

[Hiob]

Isn't it nice, that we have options.

And nobody is forced to pick an option that doesn't suit personal preference......
