SYMPTOMS
When you use the Bulgarian (Latin) keyboard layout to type characters on your Windows 2000-based computer, the characters are displayed in English letters instead of the expected Cyrillic letters.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the Bulgarian (Latin) keyboard layout is an alias of the US English language, and because of this, does not display Cyrillic letters.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use the Bulgarian keyboard layout instead of the Bulgarian (Latin) keyboard layout:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Keyboard, click the Input Locales tab, and then click Add.
 * 3) In the Input Locale box, click Bulgarian.
 * 4) In the Keyboard Layout/IME box, click Bulgarian.
 * 5) Click OK, and then click OK.



MORE INFORMATION
Windows 2000 supports the following Bulgarian keyboard layouts:
 * Bulgarian (Latin)
 * Bulgarian Cyrillic

NOTE: Bulgarian Cyrillic is also known as Bulgarian.

Bulgarian and Bulgarian (Latin) are not listed by default in the keyboard layout. To list Bulgarian and Bulgarian (Latin) on the keyboard layout:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional Options.
 * 2) On the General tab, click to select the Cyrillic check box under Language settings for the system, and then click OK.
 * 3) You are then prompted to copy files. Click OK, and then click Yes to restart your computer.
