Introduction
Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Ukrainianizing the Macintosh!
This documentation should be of interest to anyone seeking to read or
write Ukrainian text on an Apple Macintosh computer.
With the advent of WorldScript software technology, the Apple Macintosh
is capable of extensive and impressive multi-lingual abilities, and
excels in managing Cyrillic text alongside Latin text.
We will discuss the Possibilities for
Ukrainianization, including localizing an English operating system
to work with Ukrainian text, and implementing a complete Ukrainian
operating system.
The System Software required will be described,
and the path to obtaining the Holy Grail of Ukrainianization will be
revealed to the faithful!We will also cover
localizing Applications to operate in
Ukrainian, and specify other Resources for
further information.
DISCLAIMER: The author of this document is in no way affilliated with
Apple Computer. Further, the author assumes no responsibility for
unpredictable consequences resulting from the modifications suggested
herein. However, the author will promise to experience deep feelings
of guilt if said unpredictable consequences are negative.
Emphatic expressions of gratitude are rained down upon the following:
InfoMeister, Apple Computer, Inc., CDV Apple Ukraine, Max Pyziur,
Sasha Golovin, Matvey Palchuk, L. Jake Jacobson, Monty Python, Gregorius Skovoroda, and, of course, Taras Shevchenko for making the whole project worth the trouble. Oh,and BU-BA-BU!
NEWS!
CDV Apple Ukraine now distributing their Ukrainian Macintosh products in North America!
Software MacKiev (1-800-MAC-UKRAINE) and Yevshan (1-(800)-265-9858).
CYRILLIC LANGUAGE KIT UNDER DEVELOPMENT!!
Prepare to set the pigeons loose!
Apple Computer is developing a Cyrillic Language Kit,
to be released very soon. The Kit include support for modern Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian. This product will be available in disk or CD-ROM versions, and will include software to enable Cyrillic text processing on a Macintosh, along with Cyrillic keyboard stickers, documentation, and additional software.
Watch this space for future announcements . . .
NEW FREEWARE UKRAINIAN TRANSLITERATED KEYBOARD LAYOUTS!!
Available right here at the exalted BRAMA, which is located nowhere near the Carpathian mountains, and which is completely unrelated to the historic battle of Poltava!
If you just can't wait to try these, then go directly to System Software, where prices are so low you'll expect to be arrested!
Possibilities
Let us now consider the possibilities for Ukrainianization. In each case,
we will describe the given approach, the required and optional software,
and instructions for installation. Descriptions and information on
obtaining system resources may be found in
Ukrainianization of System Software.
English System + Ukrainian Read-Only
Description
This is the simplest approach, in which the computer
is enabled to read Ukrainian text. Obviously, the application of interest
must be capable of reading Ukrainian text. Also, the user should be capable
of reading Ukrainian text. Failing this, it's time to start studying.
Required:
Ukrainian Fonts
Instructions
Install the Ukrainian fonts in the System Folder. In System
versions 7.1 and greater, these fonts simply must be placed in the
Fonts folder. In earlier versions of the system software, the fonts must
either be dragged (how violent!) into the System file itself, or the
ancient and archaic Font/DA Mover utility must be utilized.
Restart the system.
Set up the Applications of interest to use the
Cyrillic font of choice.
Utilization
There's nothing more to do once you've properly set up applications.
These applications should now properly display both Latin and Cyrillic
text.
English System + Ukrainian Read-Write
Now we will consider how to enable the Macintosh to read and write
Ukrainian text. So, the application of interest must be capable of
reading and writing Ukrainian text. Also, the user should be capable
of reading and writing Ukrainian text. But you knew that already.
Required:
Cyrillic script resource for system file
Software Ukrainian keyboard layouts
Apple Standard Cyrillic Fonts
Optional:
Language Kit Extension (to enable Cyrillic capabilities
in the Finder)
Additional Ukrainian fonts in appropriate encoding
Instructions
Install the Ukrainian fonts in the System Folder.
Install the Cyrillic script and keyboard layouts into the System file
itself.
Install the Language Kit Extension in System Folder:Extensions.
Restart the system. A keyboard menu (a cute flag) should now
appear near the top right of the menu bar.
To enable Cyrillic capabilities in the Finder, select an Apple Standard
Cyrillic font in the Views Control Panel.
Set up the Applications of interest to use
the Cyrillic font of choice.
Utilization
Reading Ukrainian text is now a simple matter in properly configured
applications. One may have to choose a font in the proper encoding for a
given text file.
To write in Ukrainian, one must choose a Ukrainian font in the desired
encoding, and a Ukrainian keyboard in the same encoding. The keyboard is
selected in the keyboard menu (the flag).
Full Ukrainian System
The truly obsessed may wish to have a full Ukrainian System. In such
a configuration, every system menu and dialog box appears in Ukrainian!
Obviously, this arrangement includes the capability of reading and writing
Ukrainian in applications which support this function. Other applications
will generally work as expected, supporting English as usual.
In this author's experience, the Ukrainian implementation is beautiful,
and the multi-lingual ability is seamless. The Ukrainian System is
available in version 7.5, and includes a full set of fonts and software
keyboard resources for English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
Apple Ukrainian system software, as well as hardware Cyrillic keyboards, and Ukrainian-localized versions of applications (such as 4th Dimension, ClarisWorks, and PageMaker) are produced by Apple Ukraine, now distributing their Ukrainian Macintosh products in North America via
Software MacKiev (1-800-MAC-UKRAINE) and Yevshan (1-(800)-265-9858).

General Information
For further information, please see the section on
System Resources
on the
Russification of Macintosh server, courtesty of Matvey Palchuk.
Cyrillic Script
The Cyrillic script is a piece of System Software which allows the
Macintosh to work with Cyrillic text. The script must be installed
into the System file itself. There exist scripts for both Ukrainian
and Russian Macintosh Operating Systems. This script must be installed
if the user wishes to type Cyrillic text.
If one obtains either the Ukrainian or Russian operating system, a
Cyrillic script is included. Otherwise, the freely available Russian
script may be obtained from Apple via the Internet. This script will
allow the user to work in both Russian and Ukrainian. Information on
obtaining and installing the Russian script may be found
here,
at the
Russification of Macintosh server.
Language Kit Extension
The Language Kit Extension is a System Extension, which allows the
Macintosh Operating System to work simultaneously with multiple
languages. That is, the Macintosh is enabled to work with multiple
WorldScript script systems. In this case, we would like the System
to utilize both the Roman script (for English and European languages)
and the Cyrillic script.
Without this extension, the System can only work with a single script
at a time, so that the Finder and dialog boxes will not correctly display
Cyrillic text items in an English system.
The Language Kit Extension may be obtained by downloading
the
Chinese Language Kit Updater
(yes, you read that right) from the
Apple Software Updates Archive.
Apple Standard Cyrillic Fonts
For the Cyrillic script to work properly, Apple Standard Cyrillic
Fonts must be installed. Anyway, you won't regret the acquisition of
these fonts, as they are among the most beautiful Cyrillic fonts
available!
Information on obtaining and installing these fonts may be found
here,
at the
Russification of Macintosh server. Though these fonts are
from the Apple Russian System, they also provide full support for
the Ukrainian character set.
Other Fonts
ER Cyrillic Fonts
New! Cyrillic Fonts created by Gavin Helf are now available
for both Macintosh and Windows operating systems; they were adapted for
the Macintosh by Zenon M.
Feszczak and L. Jake Jacobson.
These fonts are available for the following Cyrillic codings: CP 1251, CP
866, KOI8, and Apple Standard Cyrillic; and they come in four font styles:
Bukinist (a Times-face), Univers (a Helvetica-face), Kurier (a monospaced
font) and Architect (a decorative font). The fonts can be downloaded from
BRAMA archives.
Software Keyboard Resources
One must install the necessary keyboard resource to permit typing
in Cyrillic.
Ukrainian-English transliterated keyboards
New!Transliterated keyboards created by Zenon M.
Feszczak.
These software keyboards were created for KOI8 and Apple Standard Cyrillic encodings.
These keyboards allows typing in Ukrainian from a standard English keyboard.
There are subtle and ingenious design differences among the Lviv, Kyiv, and Poltava designs, and one is encouraged to spend hours attempting to decipher the political symbolism of the designs correlated with the respective Ukrainian city names. No guarantee is made, however, that such a symbolism exists as an objective, that is to say, immanent, design element.
In the Lviv design, for example, all punctuation characters have been preserved.
One accesses the additional Ukrainian characters via the Option key.
Depressing the Caps Lock key in all layouts switches to the Latin character set, for
typing in English (or Latin! Post hoc ergo propter hoc!).
Lviv
Kyiv
Poltava
These magical and mysterious keyboards can be freely downloaded from the infamous
BRAMA archives.
Ukrainianization of Applications
To utilize Ukrainian in applications, one must first install the
appropriate system resources, as described in
Ukrainianization of System Software. The possible arrangements,
as determined by the capabilities desired (reading Ukrainian, or reading
and writing, or a full Ukrainian operation system) are discussed in the
Possibilities section.
Applications vary in their ability to handle Cyrillic text. In many
cases, one simply needs to select a Cyrillic font for the given
application. Often, however, the process is a bit more complicated
and annoying. Tragically, some applications are completely incapable
of handling Cyrillic text; pity them, show them compassion, and
move on.
For detailed information on configuring various applications for
Cyrillic, please see the Applications section of the
Russification
of Macintosh server.
The methods for Ukrainianization are generally identical to those for
Russian localization, with this notable exception: The Ukrainian user
must specify a Ukrainian font rather than a Russian font, wherever a
font specification is called for. Obviously. Note that some fonts,
such as the ER Fonts on this server, contain full character sets for
Ukrainian, Russian, and English.
