Way too much for me to do, considering I can't speak Russian :DL

Yep, having had a look at them, It's just a wee bit intimidating!:o

At the moment, this is for my own use, so I'd only consider releasing it if the BfB team gave the nod. Curiosity's gotten the better of me!!:03:
Hotmenandre, If you'd like, I could send you a copy of what I've translated for the mission orders, menus and subs for your perusal? If you want to use any of it in the mod, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand.
