I will show you how to make and see cyrillic characters.
First,download AppLocale from
.Install it and follow the next few steps.My pics are on WIN 7.Who has other version of WIN is all most the same don't worry.
1) Go START>Microsoft AllLocale>Click on AppLocale - a PC-like icon.
2) Click "Next" and then you will get to the application selection menu.Click "Browse" and go to your Silkroad folder and select
silkroad.exe .Then click "Next".
3) You will get to the language selecting "phase".Here,under "Language of the application" browse down at the bottom.A little higher you will see "
pусский". Select it and press "Next".
4) Now select the box at left to the "Create a shortcut to always run this application with AppLocale.".Then at "Link description" put a name to your shortcut and press "Finish".Go back to AppLocale in start and right click on the silkroad shortcut (under AppLocale(.exe) ) and select "Send to Desktop"
Now to setup your keyboard to write with cyrillic characters.
1) Go to START>Control Panel>"Change keyboards or other imput methods" under "Clock,Language and Region" category.
2) Select "Keyboards and Languages" tab and click on "Change keyboards..."
3) In the new window in the "General" tab click on "Add" on the right.
4) Browse down to "Russian">"Keyboard">and select "Russian".Then press OK,Apply,Apply and so on.
Now you should see the language selection menu in the right part of the start bar.
Now creating your character name:Go to
and at "Translate from:" select english or your native language.At "Translate into:" select "Russian".
Now insert the words you want to translate into russian.For example i wanted "Black Dragon" and in russian it was "Черный дракон" so "ЧерныйДракон" was the final name.
After you got the name you wanted translated into english start Silkroad with the new shortcut.Imput your account and password (Keyboard must be set on English).Click on create a character.
At the name insert phase switch your keyboard to Russian and using Alt+Tab switch between your internet browser and Silkroad and try to replicate the name from the browser into the game.
It will take a while until you figure which symbol is where but in max 10 min you will finish.After inserting the name just click create and you're good to go.
Made this thread because i've seen many users the are complaining they that they can't create a character name.This guide makes you see the cyrillic characters.There are people (including me xD) that are annoyed when they see weird symbols in their chat.
Have fun.
i cant chance it in russian. I mean my keyboard it says only english and(my country) Dutch its nto saying russian
