Thanks a lot for your translation effort!

First, the customization layer included in susedoc works currently for 
XEP only, not FOP. That's a pity, but when my time permits I will 
make it more compatible with FOP.

Yeah, that's pity. Did you know that RenderX offers also a Personal 
edition? As far as I know, it contains a stamp on each page and it's 
free for noncommercial personal use.

  http://www.renderx.net/Content/download/getbuy.cgi
  (Use Personal, *not* Trial)

This might not solve the licensing issue but be useful for the time 
being until our stylesheets are ready for FOP.

It's mainly a (font) configuration issue from XEP.

The errors come from unsupported attributes in FOP. There is one issue 
that is related to our stylesheets: At the moment we don't support 
Russian localization but we will include it in the near future.

If you want, you can translate the English text 
under /usr/share/susedoc/xslt/common/l10n/en.xml and send it directly 
to me. I can include it in the next update of susedoc. At least this 
error will disappear. :)

Andreas covered that already. :)


Hope that helps,
Tom
