When I using MacBook Air switch Pinyin keyboard to Russian, it remains in Latin layout, not in Cyrillic as it should be. I am not sure if it is a bag, so can you try it too in macOS 10.13.2. Thanks!
MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
All 10.13.2 installs have this bug. Make sure you use
to ask for a fix, as it is just other users like yourself here
This bug seems to have been fixed in 10.13.4
I also have this and it is very annoying. And it's even not the first bug for me in High Sierra too.
Chinese Pinyin with any Russian keyboard input. Latin letters instead of Cyrillic

It is a third hot fix of High Sierra and the issue is still not fixed! This is unbelievable! I've been experiencing so many bugs with this OS makes me question just how much Apple cares about the quality of their product or the customers at all!
Freaking calculator in notification center always shows the same number when I open it; what used to be the best features in Finder are all gone now, even photographs do not load properly when I open and go through them full size in Finder anymore. This is hopeless
Have to report this bug again, because now my wife's laptop (MacBook Air 13-inch 2017, MacOs 10.13.2 (17C205)) has the same issue. APPLE please release a bug-fix for this problem!
Thanks.

Make sure that Siri is turned off and its shortcut set to "none" and restart.
I have a similar issue only with Japanese and Russian keyboards after upgrading to 10.13.2. It looks like a bug. I tested it with and without siri. Here are the steps to reproduce:
- Open keyboard preferences and install 3 keyboard sources: U.S., Hiragana and Russian.
- Using shortcuts or input menu in the input bar switch to Hiragana
- From Hiragana switch to Russian and type something.
Expected result: to see Cyrillic letters, actual result: Latin letters.
Workaround: before switching to Russian input source switch first to U.S. input source and then switch to Russian input source.

After updating to 10.13.2 I find that after either Pinyin or Hiragana you can't switch to Russian, Hebrew, or Arabic (and probably others I did not try).

You meant to say "can't type", right?
I have no problem typing arabic or cyrillic after typing with turkish f, turkish qwerty, or turkish qwerty pc. Do you have Siri turned off?
No. I meant "I can’t." Let me explain.
I usually use Japanese input, Hiragana and U.S.
and I found I couldn’t type Arabic letters with Arabic input.
Trying other inputs, I found I couldn’t type Cyrillic in addition to Arabic and had no problem typing any Asian letters such as Korean, Hindi, Thai.
And I also found I got to be able to type Arabic only after choosing Arabic input after Turkish until switching US or Japanese.
I turned Siri off but it didn’t solve the problem.
It seems the same as Imotov reported except that his/her workaround doesn’t work in my environment.
My workaround is: before switching to Russian, switch to Turkish and then switch to Russian.
Using 10.13.2 in Text Edit:
I have no problem using the sequence Hiragana > US > Arabic qwerty. This not work for you?
I have no problem using the sequence Hiragana > US > Russian Phonetic. This does not work for you?
Don't have a solution unfortunately, but want to report that I am also experiencing the same issue with a combination of English (UK), Japanese and Russian.
I can type in Russian after switching to it from English, but as soon as I type anything in Japanese, Russian input stops functioning and only displays Latin script.
Tested this with both macOS' standard Japanese IME as well as Google Japanese IME, same bug present whatever you choose.
Seems to be something affecting Cyrillic input after switching from a character-based language...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this bug basically renders my MBP useless until it's fixed.
Cannot switch pinyin to Russian keyboard
