Russian translation

[C. Michael Pilato]

If you wish to translate in trunk, that's certainly fine, but just
understand that trunk is relatively unstable.  Today trunk ostensibly covers
Subversion 1.8, but in reality it hasn't been updated much since the 1.7
updates were completed.  Eventually, though, it will get a flurry of changes
to update it for 1.8.  This is why I assumed you'd want to chase a more
stable target.
