Moldovan virtual keyboard
The Moldovan virtual keyboard allows you to enter characters with a click of your mouse. There’s no need to change your keyboard layout anymore. The transliteration of each supported character is displayed on the right side of the character. You can then directly transliterate your text from one script to the other according to the selected transliteration system.
Language overview
The Moldovan language (limba moldovenească, or лимба молдовеняскэ), also known as Moldavian, is actually Romanian language written in Cyrillic alphabet (while Romanian uses the Latin alphabet). As such, it is a Romance language. Moldovan is used in Moldova, and Transnistria, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, where it has the status of official language. The Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet (derived from the Russian alphabet and standardised in the Soviet Union) was used in 1924-1932 and 1938-1989, and remains in use in Transnistria. Only one character is not used in the modern Russian alphabet, the character zhe (ж) with breve: Ӂ ӂ.

Both are aimed at establishing and maintaining uniform usage of geographic names, and their standards have been agreed upon by both party as a joint adoption.
