How to Type in Russian Using an English Keyboard

Don't have a Russian keyboard? No problem. Our transliteration tool lets you type Russian words using your regular English keyboard. Just type the word as it sounds in English, and it automatically converts to Cyrillic script.

For example, typing "privet" gives you "привет" (hi) in native script. Russian uses 33 letters in its Cyrillic alphabet, including two "sign" letters (ь and ъ) that modify pronunciation but have no sound of their own. The tool shows multiple suggestions so you can pick the exact word you want, powered by Google Input Tools for high accuracy.

This is perfect for writing Russian messages, social media posts, emails, or documents when you don't have a Russian keyboard installed. Used by 258 million+ across Russia, CIS countries, Eastern Europe, Russian typing works on any device — desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Russian transliteration?
Transliteration converts text from one script to another. Our tool lets you type Russian words using English letters, and it converts them to Cyrillic script automatically — for example, "privet" becomes "привет".
Is Russian transliteration free?
Yes! GoTranslate's Russian transliteration is completely free to use. Powered by Google Input Tools.
How is transliteration different from translation?
Translation changes the meaning from one language to another. Transliteration keeps the same word but changes the script — e.g., writing a Russian word in Cyrillic script instead of English letters.
Can I use this for typing Russian on my computer?
Yes! If you don't have a Russian keyboard, our transliteration tool lets you type Russian using your regular English keyboard. Just type the word as it sounds (like "privet") and select the correct Russian script version.
