Offering to help with Russian translation of Haiku User Guide

Hello Haiku community!

I’m interested in contributing to Haiku by translating the User Guide (and/or other documentation) into Russian.

Before starting, I’d like to:

  1. Check if there’s an active translation effort for Russian to avoid duplication.
  2. Confirm the preferred workflow (e.g., Git, Weblate, PO files).
  3. Clarify any terminology guidelines (e.g., how to handle terms like “Deskbar,” “Tracker”).

If there’s no ongoing translation, I’m ready to begin with a small section (e.g., the Introduction) for review. Could someone point me to the right resources or contacts?

Thanks for your guidance!
