This is the original topic.
Hello, my name is Alexey, and I'm from Russia. I'm a first-year student in
South-West State University, Faculty of Foundamental and Applied
Informatics.
Admin localization for Russian language is poor.(See original thread, there
was a message from the other russian speaking developer, where he says that
problem actually exists.).

The main reason of translation troubles is dynamically generated strings,
like this:
*"Add new {{ model.verbose_name}}"*
In some languages one cannot translate first part of sentense, then the
other and then concatenate them. This will casuse grammatical errors in
some languages, like Russian.
I strongly believe that sentense should be "atomical" unit of translation,
that's why, let's provide
*django-admin.py translate-admin language-name *
command, which will create folder with translation files, and all the
strings should be taken from theese files.

Comment in the first topic.
Yes, this problem seems to be serious problem. That's why I propose
fallback to current solution when there are no translation files, because
this solution is suitable enough for languages like English, without
grammatical form matching between words in sentense.
Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Alexey
