Cyrillic Keyboard

[pero]

Hello everyone, I have a Kindle Paperwite 2 (2014) 5.4.3.2.
And I want to ask, is it possible to add cyrillic keyboard on this device?
For example I would like to write e-mail's or search the web in cyrillic language!

Thank you, and I will appreciate your help.

The latest PW2 5.6.x firmware has full Russian GUI support, including a Russian on-screen-keyboard. You also get 3 Russian ABBYY dictionaries for free, if your Kindle is registered with Amazon. I.e., there's no need to install a hack, unless you need a special Cyrillic layout.

However, if you're interested in Kindle hacking make sure to install the latest PW2 jailbreak before installing the latest firmware, because it can't be downgraded and doesn't support installing a jailbreak.

But it's only Russian so if you are from Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia or Ukraine It's won't do you much good.

As I'm from Ukraine I still use the-ebook.org version because they added support for long-presses:

й - symbols from numerical row on keyboard;
ъ - brackets and slashes;
. - punctuation;
а - á, æ | г - ґ, ѓ | е - ё, é | ж - џ, ђ | и - і, ї | к - ќ | л - љ | н - њ | у - ý, ў | ч - ћ | э - є

So it helps, maybe not for everyone but you still can ask them to add some changes.

P.S. Oh and they have arrow keys, because how the hell can you scroll through a long url in a browser to change something in url field? (with standard keyboard it's almost impossible)
