Current stage of gnome's Russian translation is poor - it's listed on
http://www.gnome.org/i18n/ among partially supported languages. There
were no commits for key gnome components, like Nautilus, since summer.
Current Russian team coordinator Dmitry G. Mastryukov does not respond
on email, and it looks like nobody is working on Russian Gnome
translations now. This it why we are going to establish new translation
team. Our team will be sponsored by ASPLinux company, the leading
Russian Linux vendor, which is highly interested in complete
high-quality translation of Gnome desktop. Our team already have an
experience of translating all redhat-config-* utilities, large part of
core KDE components and some Gnome components - Evolution, gnomemeeting,
totem. Currently we have some new translations ready, but we are unable
to contribute them, because current coordinator is unavailable.
The coordinator of new team wil be Leonid Kanter <leon at asplinux dot
ru>, information about this project will be published on
http://community.asplinux.ru.
