Russian¶
ru, tier A, Русский. 19.3 percent of 290 terms have an approved translation or a protected spelling. This measures terminology coverage, not completed prose review or publication approval.
This table is generated from the core translation memory localization/ru-core.tmx, the canonical data for Russian terminology. Edit the memory, not this page.
Use the English term until a proposed translation is approved, or when a translation is missing. A protected spelling stays unchanged. The fallback original term is the plain English phrase to translate when the term itself will not travel; the principles say how to use it. A draft English name still requires confirmation even if its spelling is protected here.
Select an English term for its definition and application context. The translator handoff explains how to propose changes.
The Russian localization guide explains the reasoning behind the less obvious choices and the rules that apply to this language.
