I'm doing some Russian translation.
A few things I do not understand:
-----
I)
English string:
Alter the radius randomly each dab. You can also do this with the
by_random input on the radius setting. If you do it here, there are two
differences:
1) the opaque value will be corrected such that a big-radius dabs is
more transparent
2) it will not change the actual radius seen by dabs_per_actual_radius
What is 'by_random', 'dabs_per_actual_radius'? Should they be translated
or left 'as is' with underscores?
----
II)
English string:
This changes the reaction of the 'fine speed' input to extreme physical
speed. You will see the difference best if 'fine speed' is mapped to the
radius.
-8.0 very fast speed does not increase 'fine speed' much more
+8.0 very fast speed increases 'fine speed' a lot
For very slow speed the opposite happens.
What is "'fine speed' input"? And what is 'fine speed gamma'? (from
other string)
----
III)
I really stuck at 'feather pixel' and can't find proper translation. Can
someone explain it to me to find proper word/phrase in Russian?
----
IV)
English string: This defines how long the stroke input stays at 1.
What is 'stroke input', and what mean 'stays' for stroke input?
-----
V)
English string:
Aspect ratio of the dabs; must be >= 1.0, where 1.0 means a perfectly
round dab. TODO: linearize? start at 0.0 maybe, or log?
I seems for me as unfinished. Or should it be translated?
Thanks!

MyPaint is well on its way to feature and string freeze, but we
mustn't leave libmypaint in a poorly translated state.
Short form: please help translate MyPaint:

Long form: I've set up a hub for translating MyPaint-related projects
on WebLate, an online translation tool[1] that anyone can log into
with a facebook, google or github account (or a local one, or others
beside). It ticks all the boxes I've though of - comments, contexts
visible when translating, the ability to contribute suggestions, tight
integration with github - and I'm really happy with what I've seen so
far. Currently only libmypaint is integrated (it's pretty much stable
already), but I am hoping that MyPaint itself can join it shortly.
If you're fluent in a language other than English, or know a
FOSS-friendly person who is, you can help out with the translation
effort. Please share the link above as widely as you can, or dive in
yourself and start translating brush setting texts. It's a
surprisingly simple workflow: you translate program texts one at a
time resolving any discrepancies and correcting problems the system
has discovered. Each text has a link back to the source code too, if
you want to see where it was set up. At the end of translating into
your language you get a nice fully green progress bar, a glowing sense
of satisfaction, and your email address in the commit log :D
The advantage to the MyPaint project of using a system like WebLate is
the ability to continuously integrate and update translations. Having
a side-by-side comparison of all the languages doesn't hurt either -
plus we get another shiny github badge for the project.
If you have the inclination to help out and good language skills, we'd
really appreciate your assistance. Helping to translate a project is a
really great way of learning about how it works internally, and it's
one of the easiest and most effective ways of getting involved in the
Free/Open Source culture and putting great software into people's
hands, worldwide.
