RSS Bandit speaks Russian
Ok, once I volunteered to make Russian translation for RSS Bandit - my favorite RSS aggregator, so finally I had to do it. It took me couple of days of my vacation time and it wasn't easy. There are just no established Russian translations for RSS terms, even for basic ones such as "feed" and "syndication". RSS is still extremely new stuff for Russian Web community, and very very few sites provide RSS feeds. So I had to discuss terms in Russian-speaking XML community and to invent the rest :) I did it once I translated XPath spec into Russian and I hope it will be successful translation again.
I believe it's a good one. I really hope somebody will find it useful. AFAIK RSS Bandit is going to be the very first news aggregator with Russian UI. Here is how it looks like:
So let's wait till next version of RSS Bandit is out. Needless to say: comments, suggestions, reports of typos and bad wordings - I appreciate all that stuff.

digg it
redditIt is done good and I see nothing to be changed.
Thank you.
You know, Sergey, you're right. I was badly looking for normal translation of "upload" term and somehow missed "". Much better. Thanks for your comments.
Posted by: Oleg Tkachenko at April 18, 2004 12:10 PMI think Dare or Torsten should change size of text labels in Find|Advanced Fields (russian tranlation is too long)
"Report a bug" and "Upload feeds..." translation is geeky ;-) may be " " " ..."?
Let's wait to hear what real mostly-Russian-reading users say. I'll make some promo for RSS Bandit in the RuNet.

Posted by: Sergey at April 13, 2004 2:10 AMSounds good -- I am game. Just let me know when.
Posted by: Dimitri Glazkov at April 12, 2004 11:34 PMThere is still plenty room for improvements, Dimitri. My translation is mostly verbatim hence too wordy. We could review it after beta is out.
Posted by: Oleg Tkachenko at April 12, 2004 12:44 PMHurray to the pioneers of Russian-speaking UI news aggregators. If you're interested, I'd be happy to help out with the translation.
Posted by: Dimitri Glazkov at April 11, 2004 7:44 PMYes, he did :-)
Posted by: Torsten Rendelmann at April 11, 2004 7:33 PMYeah, I've sent it to Torsten. Just to be sure I'm gonna submit it as a patch too.
Posted by: Oleg Tkachenko at April 11, 2004 7:29 PMOleg,
That's really cool. I haven't seen a submission of a patch that adds Russian support. Did you send the translation directly to Torsten?
