Topic: Russian langpack for PunBB 1.3 is expired

Russian langpack for PunBB 1.3 is expired (url: http://punbb.informer.com/wiki/_media/p … sian.zip).
PunBB 1.3.3 with russian langpack works incorrectly because russian translation doesn't include next phrases:
* Forum perms redirect info
* Copyright message
* Official extensions inst
* Guests online
* Users online
* Invalid language
* Default language
* Default language help
* E-mail updated redirect
* Search in
* Message and subject
* Message only
* Topic only
* Posted in
* Topic closed info
and some components in html forms is *empty*.

I think is better to show original english text for some phrases if translation is absent for them.

Two things:
a) why don't you translate those phrases yourself?
b) proper place to discuss Russian langpack would be http://punbb.ru/

I fixed it but I have no time for testing russian langpack after each minor forum update.
And it was big surprise for me what punbb stop working correctly without some untranslated phrases in langpack.

This may come as an even bigger surprise to you, but there is no need to test a langpack (be it Russian or any other non-English one) after "each minor forum update". All you need to do is compare new English language files with the old ones (or just read the list of changes), and insert new phrases into your non-English files.

PunBB does not "stop working correctly" because of untranslated entries, it just gives an error message when a phrase to be used is missing.
