Dear FreeBSD Community, We are thrilled to announce a truly historic day for the Russian-speaking FreeBSD community! As of today, the translation of the entire FreeBSD documentation set into Russian has reached 100% completion on the Weblate platform! This remarkable achievement is the direct result of the incredible dedication, passion, and collaborative effort of our volunteer translators (and paid translation services). Every commit, every suggestion, and every reviewed string has contributed to this momentous goal. This milestone makes the powerful and reliable FreeBSD operating system more accessible than ever to Russian speakers worldwide, lowering the barrier to entry and helping to build a stronger community. While the initial translation is complete, our work to ensure the highest quality continues. The next phase involves community-wide proofreading, peer review and commits. We encourage everyone to participate in this crucial process on Phabricator to check the translations and ensure they are accurate and consistent. How you can help: Review: Check the translated strings and suggest improvements or confirm existing ones, approve the translation. Commit to Repository: Finally, the approved changes are committed to the official FreeBSD documentation repository. Spread the Word: Let other Russian-speaking BSD enthusiasts know that the documentation is now fully available in their native language. Join the effort on our Weblate and Phabricator platforms: Weblate https://translate-dev.freebsd.org Phabricator https://reviews.freebsd.org This is a cause for celebration and a testament to the power of open-source collaboration. Thank you to every single contributor who made this dream a reality. Sincerely, Vladlen Popolitov Russian translation team.
