Алло мир!
Привет мир!
Здравствуйте мир!
That's my point exactly. I've seen the same thing in fpGUI's translation
files. Many different terms, all apparently meaning the same thing. Some
were considered "old style language" others "modern language usage",
some based on Context.
Given the context, which is to test a PDF generator, and not to find the
best way to greet the world in Russian :-) , I'd say that Здравствуйте
мир! is to be preferred, because it has a higher number of characters!
Even better would be Электро́нная вычисли́тельная маши́на, meaning "Computer".
