Computer russification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, Russification (Russian: русификация) is the localization of computers and of software, i.e., making the user interface of a computer and software to communicate in Russian language and Russian alphabet.
Among the problems associated with Russification was absence of a single character encoding standard for Russian / Cyrillic alphabet, see Cyrillic alphabet#Computer encoding before the advent of the unicode.

A comprehensive instruction set for computer Russification is maintained by Paul Gorodyansky [2]. It is mirrored in many places and recommended by the U.S. Library of Congress[3]
