I'm not aware of anybody currently working on this. If anybody is, I would 
guess it would be Dremuk Serge address@hidden,
who worked on the tranlsation for the main game. Obviously if nobody else is 
working on it, we would welcome a translation of the game.

I belive it is customary to leave those untranslated.  The term GNU is left 
untranslated because it is the name of a project. and "General Public 
Licence" is left untranslated because it is the name of a Copyright Licence. 
I'm unaware if it is common for Russian language manuals to include a 
translated or transliterated version of those terms in addition to the 
originals. If it is common, than I would suggest doing that. Based on the 
Russian translation for the game, it looks like that is not normally done.
