For the Russian translation, the biggest task is to get all of
the strings from the 1.1.1 release translated, since there are only
a few new or changed strings for 1.2.0. So, if you're using
a distro that's currently shipping FoxtrotGPS 1.1.1, then you
should mostly be able to test your translations with that
(there's a list of distros that we know package FoxtrotGPS
 at the top of <http://www.foxtrotgps.org/releases/>).

If you have a system with a development environment including bzr,
autoconf, automake, libtool, intltool, etc., you can get the code for
the upcoming release from bzr by running "bzr branch lp:foxtrotgps",
and following the instructions at <http://www.foxtrotgps.org/build.html>.

We don't have any prerelease tarballs available at present,
but I could prepare one if you need it.

> <b>no GPSD found</b> - <span foreground='#0000ff'><b>D%d</b></span>

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking, here--
did my response to Patryk about formatting in translatable strings
answer this question for you?
