Any update on this? I'd really like to get as much of this translation as possible into the 2.3.5/2.4.2 releases. I plan to make the releases tomorrow (Sunday) morning, UK time. I'm sorry if I've poured cold water on your hard work, but I hope you appreciate that we have to be careful about content licensing. If there is a copyright problem specifically in the nation legend translations, I'm happy to create and commit a version of ru.po that excludes them, if you can confirm that's all that's affected -- it would be better to have a complete translation of everything else than not use the localisation at all. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-i18n mailing list Freeciv-i18n-8nu/[email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-i18n
