## Description

Translit is a Chrome extension that transforms your QWERTZ or QWERTY Latin keyboard into a transliterated Cyrillic keyboard for effortless Russian writing. Simply activate or deactivate the tool via the Ж icon in the address bar or by using the shortcut Alt+W. The extension supports direct transliteration mappings, enabling you to type Russian characters using familiar English or German keys. This makes writing in Russian accessible without switching keyboards and is highly convenient for bilingual users or language learners.

With Translit, each Latin letter or letter combination corresponds to its Cyrillic equivalent, such as A to А, B to Б, SH to Ш, and more, providing intuitive and fast typing. Whether you're composing emails, messages, or documents, this extension simplifies Russian input with a seamless, user-friendly interface.
