Hi Dmitry, > About 75% of content have been translated to Russian so far Perfect, we've messed it up... I've imported your translations and the translation completeness has gone up to about 60% (according to http://l10n.project-open.net/acs-lang/admin/, but maybe I've missed one of your files?). Btw., we've probably messed it up more then once in the past and will mess it up again... Please have some patience with us. The ]po[ core team consists of just 3 guys, and we have to handle everything from coding, bug-fixing and support to sales, demos and marketing. And now localization, of course... But fortunately Michael is carrying a lot of the work on this part... So you can tell us openly (no problem!) if we mess it up, and we'll try to fix it. > "live" testing I've imported the strings into the l10n server and set my user's locate to ru_RU for checking if the import had problems with character sets (see below). So the system is there if you want to take a quick view. Some of the menu tabs seem quite big, I'm not sure if there are ways to shorten them a bit. I remember the same issue in German, and it took quite some creativity to find suitable but shorter expressions... A minor suggestion concerning the format for "offline translations": It would be great if you could change the name of your catalog files to include your target language ru_RU (example. "intranet-core.ru_RU.utf-8.xml" instead of "intranet-core.en_US.ISO-8859-1.xml"). This way, we could copy the files in "batch mode" into their locations. This time I had to rename them each, which slows down the "cycle type" and may cause errors... Finally, I'd suggest that you update your entry in http://www.project-open.org/documentation/language_ru to include a beautiful link to Janus or a photo and a link to your private LinkedIn profile. Maybe you also want to add a short bio there? We plan to include the profile of the l10n leads and translators as part of the "press kit" for V3.4 (I'll send a separate mail out today). I can also setup a separate "partner_dmitry_ulanov" page if you want. Thanks for the great work! Cheers!
