RUSSIFICATION of NETSCAPE NAVIGATORS
HOW YOU CAN TEACH YOUR COMPUTER TO UNDERSTAND RUSSIAN
In this short and simple manual I am following the very clear and understandable article Cyrillic for MS Windows Netscape by Paul Gorodyansky. The method described in this article allows you to russify all parts of Netscape Navigators v. 2.0, 2+, and 3.0, including Mail, News, Forms, Bookmarks, and even View/DocumentSource.
If you want to know how this method works, to understand all details, including reading Windiws 1251 texts, features of version 2.02, and much more, you have to read a full text of this article (through links in Section 4).
To russify your Netscape Navigator browser by the easiest way, you must:
SECTION 1:
