KNOWN ISSUES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The strings below are already translated in the language pack, but do not
appear in the UI. Usually, this is due to the fact that the developer of the
original plugin did not mark the string as translatable. If you are sure 
that this is the case, please contact the developer of the plugin.

1. Windows - "" or Windows (R)?
2. Options, nConvers->Send: "Split messages (RECOMMENDED)"
3. Options, nConvers->Docking: "Enable docking"
4. Options, nConvers->Timestamp Display: "Show Date", "Show Time"
5. Options, Events->Sounds: "Incoming Message". This is caused by nConvers
   or Conversation Style Plugin.

Please contact me about the strings above only if you found the solution 
to this problem.

CONTRIBUTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you would like to contribute to the project, please read on.

The project's goal is to provide a QUALITY translation of most popular 
plugins, NOT the translation of all possible plugins.

You must be proficient in both English and Russian, and be detail oriented. 
English Book Title Capitalization does not exist in Russian. Word order is 
also different.

1) Familiarise yourself with software localisation:

   * Computer and software terms in Russian, mostly from Microsoft
     http://usability.ru/Articles/GUI_Term_Table.htm

   * Russian spelling rules applied to the Internet reality
     http://www.ashmanov.com/pap/style.phtml

   * Where do I put the dollar sign?
     http://www.artlebedev.ru/kovodstvo/74/

2) Get the plugin you want to translate and add it to your Miranda installation.
   Also get the translation template (it is usually provided by the author of 
   the plugin with the binary or the source download on File Listing). 

3) Start by translating the strings in the template.

4) If you see some untranslated strings when you run Miranda, try to guess 
   those strings (use ResHacker) and translate them too. If a string remains 
   untranslated when you run Miranda, contact the author of the plugin for help.

5) TEST, TEST, TEST. Take your time to test the translation before you pack it.

6) Submit by email the following in a ZIP, 7ZIP or RAR archive:

   a) Your translation in a plain text file
   b) Screenshots of your translation in action PNG, GIF or JPEG format
     (screenshots are required)
