Nijat,

Below I have quoted part of your message and then answered your
questions below the quote.

In fact, I do know why. You're probably missing one of the ingredients
to get that to work. A few things have to be true in order to switch
languages on the fly like that.

1. You must have a Russian language synthesizer installed. You've
already met this requirement.

2. I believe you need to have Russian language support installed in
Windows. This one you probably haven't done.

3. The site has to identify itself as a Russian language site. Not all
sites will do that.

I haven't ever tried to do this myself, but this is my understanding of
what one must do to make it work.

I won't venture a guess on this one, prefering to leave it in the hands
of someone more qualified to answer.
