Translating the interface (Notebook and possible others) should not
be too hard. Translating the help pages ("command?" output) is indeed a
very big work, but English is still a considerable problem for young
scientists from xUSSR. That is why I believe the popularity of Sage
highly depends on the translation and the documentation in Russian. I
know some people who could use Sage if they knew English well enough to
read help at least. There are not only physicists or mathematicians
among them, but also some electronics engineers and others.
Don't you think that a good translation into Russian could increase
the Sage popularity among Russian-speaking users?

Why? Is it a low-priority question?
