This is something I'd like to alert the l10n people to. As reported in http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2570
Russian tooltips and menus use two different charsets: cp1251 and koi8-r, respectively. If the original reporter is right about the status of each of them, this is not merely a problem of changing one of them or waiting until tooltips will be handled in .strings files, but it involves an XP-related decision, much more complicated than e.g. choosing Latin-2 over cp1250 (it seems to me). He says: "The fact is that cp1251 is (almost) the only cyrillic cp for win gui, and koi8-r (and koi8-u) is de-facto cyr encoding standard on unix systems." I'm not a specialist in this, so as I said, I merely want to signal a possible problem that should be solved before 1.0. Good night, Piotr
