I found a manual for Woody distribution (by Aoki) how to internationalize Debian but it did not work (?or I did not do things right). The example in the manual was given for Chinese so I couldn't apply it to Russian. Another thing is that I want to use English by default but be able to switch keyboards to write in Russian (emails and other stuff), and not just have Russian (so other people, not Russian Speaking can also use the computer). Can you help me with this?
