TransRoman differs from TransSlavic by not covering Roman Azerbaijani, plus the keyboard layout is optimized for west European languages. Its keyboard arrangement permits typing all French, German, and Spanish characters without using the option key.

Comes with EuroScript® on-the-fly keyboard conversion templates (for use only in OS9) which give the most convenient possible typing of all of the accents in the most commonly used Roman languages. EuroScript allows you to type the accents and special characters of 21 European languages using only the semicolon and slash keys to produce all their special characters. For example, all of the diacritical marks of Romanian can be produced just by typing a semicolon after a letter with which that diacritical mark is associated. Just open your word processor, turn on the appropriate script and start typing!

System Requirements: Works with any Macintosh, including the new Intel-based Macs. The font is typed using the US keyboard. The product includes a User's Manual and keyboard layout charts.

Cost: US$ 99.95 for a single typestyle (Times®-, Helvetica®-, Palatino®-, Garamond-, or Chancery-style); $149.95 for any two typestyles; $199.95 for any three typestyles; or $249.95 for all five typestyles. (The $50 discounted price for additional typestyles applies only to additional typestyles of this product for Macintosh.)
