How to type Bulgarian
The standard Bulgarian layout is not the Russian ЙЦУКЕН. Letters sit elsewhere: у is on W, е on E, и on R, а on D and о on F. ѝ has its own key (\).
If you learned to type in English, pick Bulgarian (Phonetic) in the Layout menu: а is A, б is B, в is V, ж is X, ч is Q, щ is ], ю is ` and я is [.
The Layout menu also has the older Bulgarian (Typewriter) layout.
