Re Cyrillic, there isn't quite a direct transliteration from US_en latin
letters to the phonetics of Cyrillic. I learned to pronounce Cyrillic when
I was in college and used to correspond in hand-written pseudo-Russian with
my dad. It was all in English, but spelled phonetically with Cyrillic
If your goal is simply transliteration I think it would be more apt to
memorize the pronunciation of each Cyrillic character than to learn to
type it on a keyboard in a way that substitutes a partially-
correspondent English letter for each Russian letter.

You can assign a key (at least in Gnome land) to be the Compose key. I tend

I often use a phonetic Russian keyboard. You should be able to select keyboards
in many languages in Linux for free. Phonetic keyboards vary somewhat, so you
should probably choose the one that suits you best and stick with it. You may
have to use stickies on the keys, since physical keyboards
