Ah, we're hitting the very famous case of "maintainer was the former translator and does not agree with an l10n team work"I already had the same with French..:-) Please take into account the fact that Sergei Alyoshin works along with the Russian l10n team so his translation is in general consistency with the work they're doing for other packages. At least is, as the former translator, the package maintainer *and* a Russian native spearker, you have issues you'd like to discuss, I would suggest to to explicitely mention them. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

There are two issues where I definitely don't agree with Sergey and one discussable issue: 1) "подключаться к нему от любого Jabber-клиента" is simply incorrect Russian. There might be "подключаться к нему любым Jabber-клиентом", "подключаться к нему с помощью любого Jabber-клиента", but even better to drop the word "любой" (using implicit quantor). 2) "веб-интерфейс администратора" adds an additional word "веб" which wasn't present in an original sentense. (Moreover, I would use the word "веб" with caution as it's a simple transliteration from English "web".) 3) "Имя учётной записи администратора для ejabberd:" is a bit more accurate translation of "The username of an admin account for ejabberd:" than "Имя учётной записи администратора ejabberd:", but I still prefer the latter. (May be because the original phrase isn't very good as well.) You will find the current Russian translation at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/deb-maint/ejabberd/trunk/debian/po/ru.po?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 -- Sergei Golovan

I don't doubt you'll be able to sort out these issues and come up with the best Russian translation possible, so cheers.even if I don't have vodka handy:-) signature.asc Description: Digital signature
