OK I will start to work on this, but I need some information:

- which phone are you using?
- can you send me a picture of your phone keyboard?
- how do you input russian letters when there are several letters on the same key?

Actually I don't know what I should I do with Russian...

On the Motorola Milestone the layout is a bit strange, with Q key mapped to both Й and Ц:

So implementing a different layout for the hard key translation (I mean the normal layout, with Q mapped to Й and W mapped to Ц) would be confusing for Milestone users, and implementing this layout will be confusing for non Milestone users (I think)

Thoughts?
