## Description

TransliteRussian is a handy Chrome extension designed to simplify typing in Russian Cyrillic using a German keyboard layout. Users can activate the add-on easily via the context menu by right-clicking in any text field or by using the shortcut Ctrl+Q (Strg+F2 on Linux). The extension features full support for both direct Cyrillic input and a "Translit" mode, allowing users to toggle between input methods conveniently on the options page. 

The extension uses a specific mapping scheme where each Cyrillic character corresponds to a unique Latin key or combination, enabling seamless typing without switching keyboard layouts. Version 0.8 brings algorithm improvements, adds Linux shortcut support, and fixes transliteration bugs for consistent functionality anywhere in the text. This tool is perfect for German users who frequently type in Russian but prefer to keep their familiar keyboard setup.
