Hi,

I've upgraded to 1.539 and discovered that russian localization is 
seriously spoiled.

Some labels contain offensive words (!), some don't match the original, 
some are plain garbage.

They were introduced by

commit 7828dcb46d9a18f88cc8e71046edc9ee91ed95e6

    Community-contributed localization for Russian (ru)


So the problem is actually the quality of localization contributions 
submitted via the translation plugin (which comes bundled and enabled with 
the main jenkins package).

AFAICS http://l10n.jenkins-ci.org/ accepts anonymous submissions so nothing 
prevents an irresponsible user from submitting whatever crap they like.

What can be done about it?

I guess the option of proofreading by a trusted editor before committing 
into the main tree may not be available for a number of languages.

Perhaps forcing authentication (e.g. via github or jenkins' jira) in the 
translation plugin will make the contributions accountable and thus prevent 
junk submissions?

Thanks,
Roman.

P.S. I'll go through that commit and submit a patch fixing the obvious 
issues today or tomorrow.
