How to create a museum sign decal in Russian text?

Maybe downloading a Cyrillic font? That's the only way I can think of getting it into the program...

Why not use Google Translate or whatever to create you text, then do a screen-print (Prt Sc) of the web page which will be saved as an image? The image could then be opened & trimmed / tidied in an editor & this could then be pasted onto a blank white background with your image.

Here's the title of your thread, copied, translated using Google translator, cut and pasted into Word, upsized and cut and pasted here. Not much more than about half a dozen clicks:

Как создать музей деколь знак в русском тексте?

The problem with using Google Translate is that sometimes it doesn't quite pick up some of the more specialized terms ,especially those that might be involved with specifications on aircraft.

I can't speak for the Russian side; but I've used it's English / German translator tool before just to test it and have had to go in an correct it.

I think you'd be better suited looking around some of the other aircraft forums and seeing if you can find someone who speaks Russian.  You can then install the Cyrillic font on your computer and type it in that way. 

It all depends on the level of accuracy to want.

Translating isn't the problem if I understood his question...  It was how to get the text onto a word document or bitmap...  Downloading a font would allow that... 

But I gave it some more thought, and tried the "KISS" approach...

Type the text you want in here:

Type what you want into the translator in English, then copy the Russian translation..

Then open MS Paint and chose the "Text" function (Letter "A" on the toolbar).  Open a window on the "paper" and then paste that into place.

Copy the Russian text, and then paste it in the sign you want. with MS Paint.

I saved this as a jpeg, so some of the clarity is gone.. Save it as a bitmap to have more detail....  Then you can print it, either on paper, or on white decal paper... I make signs for dioramas all the time with Paint..

    I must have been tired last night when I posted this.   Hans, I like your idea.  I'll give it a try, maybe this weekend.  Thanks!
