Viesturs: I know these are crude solutions but they might get you started with your customer. 1) Try http://translate.google.com Set it up to translate English to Russian, enter a URL (such as http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/common/System_Requirements.html), and see if it gets you close. Aside: The result looks Russian to me, but that's just because it's in Cyrillic font. For all I know it's a Chinese food menu :-) 2) use the Google Chrome browser with its built-in automation of the same. Good luck!
