Reading in Armenian

In a few steps you will be able to read Armenian mail messages and Armenian websites at the same time you read in English or any Latin alphabet. Just select your Operating System.

You will download a set of fonts designed in dual language, i.e., you may type either in Latin alphabet or in Armenian within the same font. This enables you to see multilingual messages on your mail or web browser.

Note: You can read, but in order to type in Armenian (i.e., the alternative language of the dual font), you shall have a program that shifts easily between the two languages (with ALT+SHIFT) (see Typing in Armenian).

Select your system clicking the upper frame.

Typing in Armenian

Once you have installed the fonts, you may also type in Armenian.

But you will need a small program to shift easily (with an ALT+SHIFT stroke) between Armenian and Latin keyboards. You can make this in the same document and even the same line you are typing, because the fonts you have downloaded are composed by a double set of characters: Armenian and Latin. With ALT+SHIFT the system alternatively replaces the Latin set with the Armenian letters or the opposite.
