Re: Sprout 21 Export For Translation

Hi Robert and Jack (in CC),

There's one unresolved issue concerning Russian Sprout/Edge: 
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37220

And there's one (newly reported), concerning all the translations:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41900

The last one is highly visible, imho it should be dealt with before 
the publish of 21nd Edge.

P.S. I'm still not sure how to translate 'NetBeans Edge'. Edge has 
lots of meanings, and the straightforward translation just don't sound 
in Russian, because it also has lots of meanings.
Still, introducing extra words like 'NetBeans on the Edge', 'Being on 
NetBeans Edge' is not good.
Maybe I won't translate NetBeans Edge at all. Better no translation 
than the ugly one, imho.

P.P.S. I'm not actually sure how to correctly _understand_ 'NetBeans 
Edge', actually. Consider:
1) = Being drunk with NetBeans
    We'll drink to Fred Sloane, who has a fine, distinguished EDGE.
2) = Unlishing NetBeans extra power
    Cheating again! My word, Nicky, you are the absolute EDGE!
3) = Make NetBeans, not War!
    USA and USSR were on the EDGE of the sword.
4) = NetBeans high peaks
    Extinguished, they dragged themselves along the EDGE of a 
mountain.
etc

I'm lost!
