Ah yes. I was waiting for Kirill to monitor this issue :)

Please work this out among each other and make changes in translatewiki.net if needed. I suggest we close this issue, as it is not a bug per se, but rather a difference of opinion that has to be worked out. Alternatively you can work it out here; feel free to do that in Russian.

Any changes to the translation in translatewiki.net will be reflected in git reasonably soon after.

I can't agree, "вопрос" ("question") is much more misleading translation.
It will become looking as a question for developers.

"инцидент" ("incident") sounds so obscure for the more mortals that is completely suitable for the translation (:

I can say there is no any good translation for the "issue" definition.

You see, russian "вопрос" is not just "?". When somebody says "А теперь рассмотрим вопрос о внедрении квадратичных турбуляторов; докладчик по этому вопросу ведущий инженер Иванов" he means some issue to discuss or to resolve (!) etc, not a question to ask. So, feature request is really "вопрос для разработчика (но - не вопрос разработчику!)".

Anyway, my users are not misleaded with "вопрос" and probably will be misleaded with "вопрос -> инцидент" update, so my personal choice is to keep old translation for our installation.

P. S. Does translatewiki.net have some proper place to discuss translation decisions on the MantisBT project?

И ещё. Предположим (я с этим не согласен, но для примера), что "инцидент" действительно лучше "вопроса". Однако перевод "вопрос" существует уже несколько лет, и русские пользователи инсталляций Mantis работают именно с таким переводом, говорят "создать вопрос", "решить вопрос", пишут в комментариях и записках "как в вопросе 0000345" и т. д. Стоит ли предложенное улучшение той, пусть и небольшой, ломки, которая им предстоит?

Хорошая тема для войнушки, конечно, и я не хотел бы её начать... Высказался просто, чтобы максимально точно выразить свои ощущения и предпочтения по теме.

@VYu: probably the most suitable location to discuss issues regarding translations into Russian is the Russian language portal: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal_talk:Ru

Your users doesn't, my users does. You don't want to update, I don't want to "update" too since we use 1.2 and never seen 1.1.
Anyhow it's too late to change 1.2, I suppose.
And I don't see any problem if anyone could edit the translation file.

I think Mantis not usefull place for talk about this issue. Come on to http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal_talk:Ru to talk about that.

This issue can be closed

OK, I have started http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Portal_talk:Ru/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8_MantisBT.
Generally it will be nice if Siebrand can inform Russian contributors and active customers about this discussion; I think we need more than 2 or 3 opinions.

If somebody can send me the link to the discussion that had preceded the decision we talk about, it will be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

All discussion has been here so far. Recent changes to the Russian localisation for MantisBT are available on translatewiki.net[1]. Marking this issue as 'won't fix', because developers cannot resolve this.
