If you're thinking about posting something on DU in Russian,
You might try using Google Translate to convert your English words into Russian in the Cyrillic alphabet. You can copy and paste that into your DU message. However, what you end up with might just not be what you intended.
Google Translate doesn't always give you a good translation, especially if your English words have multiple meanings or if you're just translating random words.
Here's my suggestion, if you don't actually speak Russian at all: After you do your initial translation, reverse the process and translate what Google gave you as the Russian translation back into English. If it doesn't give you your original English back, then keep trying after changing your English wording.
Google thinks literally, and may choose a Russian word that means a different meaning for one of your English words, since many words in English have multiple meanings. That can get you in trouble. Keep trying, and remember to capitalize appropriately and use punctuation if you are trying to translate a sentence. But...whatever you do, test your Google results by back-translating.
Disclaimer: I do speak Russian, courtesy of the United States Air Force, which sent me away to a full-immersion, 24/7/365 language school back in 1966. After that they gave me some things to do with that new skill. My Russian abilities have diminished after 50 years of infrequent use, but I am still conversational in the language and can read newspaper-level material. My advice here is simply designed to help people get better translations from Google.
Good to know you speak the language Rockhead...translate this:

I could be wrong, but he could be obscurely invoking the Russian Truther CT that Trump is a Russian puppet, and we'll all son need to speak Russian. Or something like that.
It reminds me of a upper-classmate friend I had in the mid 60s who explained his choice to take Russian in high school because he was into JBS CTs, and he thought we'd all soon be speaking Russian. I think he had graduated by the time I became a freshman.

In Trumps's USSA, you don't speak Russian. Russian speaks you.
I'm going to put a dollar bill in a round room and tell the DUmmys to find it in the corner.
GIVEN:
2012: Obama said that Russia was nothing and that the 1980s called and wanted their cold war strategy back.
2016: Obama, Hillary, the entire democrat Fake News Media think the Russians are our greatest threat.
How did the Russians become such a great threat under the smartest, 11 dimensional chess playing man in the universe in less than four years. Please show your work and keep the word "****" down to a minimum. Also appreciate all papers to not be spittle covered. Thanks for your participation ans your, I'm sure, infinite wisdom and intellectual prowess.

Only a primitive would be stupid enough to think that you could feed a ****ed up translation back through the same disgronifier that just garbled your translation one time, and get a more accurate translation.
And here is Rockhead's post in his native tongue, moron:
