Bimbi Robotics (ID: 0000003b01a25fa1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/28/2023 how to type "ya"???????????????????????????????????

Andrej K (ID: 0000007e6eb896ef) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/21/2021 Sometimes it works, sometimes it's not. For instance, if one opens Telegram web version (https://web.telegram.org/), it prints BOTH latin AND Russian letter when you type and in reverse: "tтeеvвiиrрpп" for Russian "privet". Also, no indication whether Russian transliteration is active or not which makes it very uncomfortable to use :/
