Request for permission for Russian translation

Hello, ukz530! 

Recently I finished Steam version of "Content" and it was really great! xD

It successfully combines suspense with comedy, mixes sudden death scenes (in style of classic Sierra quests) with QTE mechanics and got a bunch of great ironic dialogues and splendid jokes. That's why I want to translate it to Russian in my spare time (for free, of course!) - I believe that this project deserves much more attention from gamers than it gets now, and a fresh Steam re-release is a good time to introduce it to russian-speaking audience.

I'm a native russian-language speaker with literary translation skills (so dialogues and jokes will sound naturally in localisation - comedy horror atmosphere dies in direct translation, so my job is to keep not only meaning of the phrases minding about their context, but the whole atmosphere of the original in-game scene in translated version). I worked with AGS engine before and already decompiled "Korean.tra" file to see the amount of work - translation may take a couple of days (or a week, in a worst case scenario with my main job), but technically it's not a huge massive of text.

At the same time, I found some problems trying to integrate russian font to the game (it seem like its version of AGS is so too new for me - there were almost no problems with earlier releases). So, I decided to contact you not only to ask for your permission to make a translation, but also to ask for your cooperation in a technical side of it (you have the source code - in that case the process of integration of Russian subtitles will be same to the process of integration of Korean subtitles).

Please, contact me via e-mail or via Steam (https://steamcommunity.com/id/rorder) if you allow me to start working on russian translation or if you want more information about my previous projects (in brief, translation is my hobby, so I choose relatively small games that impressed me to localize them).

Have a great day! :D
