Hi all
Hope someone can help out.

I have been trying for days to get stringreplace to work for a friend with no luck.
Here is the scenerio
i have a block of text in english.
i want to selec all the text, run a string replace via a hotkey, and some words to be replaced with russian text, before its pasted.
i can create a file with the stringreplace in it e.g.

StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, some english, архитектурные сооружения, all

But no matter what i do, when pasiting, it comes out garbled.
The user is initialy using russian keyboard layout, so have tried using sendpost to swicth to uk keyboard before doing the replace and the again back to russian before pasting but with no luck.

In short i am looking for a way to select a chunk of english text, run it through stringreplace (or something else) and if certain words can be identified, replace with russian and past result - a kind of translation of you like.

any ideas anyone ??
