Detailed field: Computers: Software | Source text - English
When ISA Server displays an HTML form, it replaces the placeholders in the .htm files with the strings in the strings.txt file of the language specified in the language settings of the client's browser, or as specified in the Web listener. Text string customization is done by modifying the strings in the strings.txt file that correspond to the placeholders in the .htm files.
Note the following:
- Before customizing the content of the strings.txt file, we recommend that you make a backup of the strings.txt file that you are modifying.
- Any strings that you modify or add must be properly encoded to comply with HTML syntax. The "
| Translation - Russian
При показе HTML-формы ISA Server замещает заглушки в HTM-файлах строками из файла strings.txt, соответствующего языку, указанному в языковых настройках веб-обозревателя клиента или в веб-прослушивателе. Настройка текстовых строк совершается путем изменения строк в файле strings.txt, соответствующих нужным заглушкам в HTM-файлах.
Учтите следующее:
- прежде чем настраивать содержимое файла strings.txt, рекомендуется сделать резервную копию файла strings.txt, который будет редактироваться;
- любые редактируемые или добавляемые строки должны быть закодированы таким образом, чтобы соответствовать синтаксису HTML. Символ "
| Russian to English: "Strategies for the US/Russia Relationship: Problems and Prospects"
Detailed field: Government / Politics | Source text - Russian
Есть мнение, что США приберегает Российскую Федерацию «на десерт». Допустим. Тогда со стороны Запада России логично «помочь» придать режиму КОМАТОЗНОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ – создать предпосылки и обстановку для утраты властью ориентировки и ответных реакций на «внешние раздражители» (гуманитарные интервенции). Именно такое патологическое безволие власти сложилось при Ельцине и политическая абулия не изжита при Путине: «врагов у нас нет – есть лишь партнеры»; уходим из Европы (воссоединение Германии) - пьяно танцуем; «хощь – бери коня любого» (соглашение Бейкер-Шеварнадзе по Берингову проливу), вопреки интересам национальной безопасности продавливают продажу «Силовых машин» германскому «Сименсу»; по льготным ценам продают энергоресурсы недружественным странам… Клинический случай. Умопомрачение «клиента» чуть было не отключило совсем национальное самосознание. Агрессивные вызовы воспринимались эйфорийно-беспечно. На угрозы почти не реагировали полуатрофированные органы страны. Больной «организм» рефлексами напоминал ошпаренного таракана, бестолково-беспомощно водящего усами. Россию, как созревший качан капусты, потягивая на себя, можно было поворачивать из стороны в сторону – обрывая «лишние» питающие корни. Гибнуть не давали – развивайся себе «свободно» до глубокой осени, сохраняя заданную нужную кондицию для аппетитного употребления потом. Своеобразная КОНСЕРВАЦИЯ ЖИВОГО ОРГАНИЗМА под названием «кушать подано». | Translation - English
Some believe that the United States is saving the Russian Federation "for dessert." Suppose so. Then, from the point of view of the West, it makes sense to "help" Russia move the regime into a COMATOSE STATE, that is, to bring about the conditions and the setting necessary for the government to lose its grip and its ability to react to "external stimuli" (humanitarian intervention). It was this kind of pathological apathy that took place under Yeltsin, and this political absence of will has not been eradicated with Putin in power: "we have no enemies, just partners;" leaving Europe we do a drunken dance (German reunification); "take what your heart desires" (the Baker-Shevardnadze Bering Strait Agreement); the sale of Power Machines to Germany’s Siemens, pushed through despite national security concerns; the deflated pricing and sale of energy resources to unfriendly countries… a case for in-patient treatment, indeed. The "patient's" derangement, in fact, came close to completely shutting down national self-consciousness. Aggressive challenges were taken with a euphoric lack of concern. The country’s semi-atrophied organs barely responded to threats. The sick organism’s reflexes resembled those of a scalded cockroach stirring his antennae in shiftless torpidity. Like a ripe cabbage-head, Russia could be pulled and turned any which way to pluck off "unneeded" feeding roots. It wasn’t allowed to die – rather to grow "freely" until late fall, saving the ripeness, to be consumed later – sort of being kept PRESERVED ALIVE to be an instant-cooked meal. | English to Russian: ProZ.com website localization into Russian

1. What is the Blue Board?
We'll explain in a roundabout way. First of all, any ProZ.com user can enter a number from 1 to 5 corresponding to his or her likelihood of working again (LWA) with a given outsourcer (ie. client or translation company/agency). By way of explanation, the user can also enter a line of text along with the number. In response, the outsourcer may enter a line of text of his/her/its own.
The Blue Board is the complete, searchable database of the records containing these entries and replies, along with outsourcer coordinates.
2. Glossary of Blue Board terms...
Outsourcer: An umbrella term that includes agencies, companies, clients and any other entity or person that buys translation services. The Blue Board is a database of outsourcers accompanied by service provider entries.
Entry: A service provider makes an "entry" to the Blue Board expressing his or her likelihood of working again with a given outsourcer. (Terms like "rating", "review", etc., are misleading and should be avoided.)
LWA: Likelihood of Working Again (with a given outsourcer.) Refers to the numerical portion of an entry.

1. Что такое Blue Board?
Объясним это следующим образом. Во-первых, любой пользователь ProZ.com может оценить по шкале от 1 до 5 свою «готовность к продолжению сотрудничества» (ГПС) с тем или иным работодателем (т.е. прямым клиентом или переводческой компанией или бюро). В качестве пояснения, вместе с численной составляющей отзыва пользователь также может разместить краткий комментарий. В свою очередь, работодатель может опубликовать ответный комментарий.
Доска отзывов Blue board – это полная, удобная для просмотра база данных, содержащая записи о работодателях, их координаты и отзывы о них, опубликованные поставщиками услуг.
2. Глоссарий терминов Blue Board
Работодатель. Широкое понятие, включающее бюро, компании, заказчиков и любые другие организации и лица, приобретающие услуги по переводу. Blue Board является базой данных работодателей с сопутствующими отзывами о них, опубликованными поставщиками услуг.
Отзыв: «Отзывы» публикуются в Blue Board поставщиками услуг, которые тем самым выражают свою степень готовности к продолжению сотрудничества с определенными работодателями. (Следует избегать вводящих в заблуждение терминов, таких как «рейтинг», «оценка» и т.д.)
ГПС. Готовность к Продолжению Сотрудничества (с конкретным работодателем). Так называется численная составляющая отзыва.

I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, where I graduated from a prep school with emphasis on mathematics and the sciences. At 16, my life took a drastic turn — I embarked on a 6-year "tour" of America, attending high school in Virginia, then the University of South Carolina, from which I graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics. This experience of a lifetime helped me expand my cultural horizons, gain an all-around education, and acquire native-level English fluency. Since returning home in 2004, I have maintained close personal and professional ties to the US. Even after all this time, I feel equally comfortable writing, translating or communicating in either Russian or English. These skills, combined with my educational background and hands-on industry experience, allow me to deliver top-quality translation and interpreting services at a reasonable price. English into Russian projects currently account for roughly 75% of my workload. I also offer high-quality translation into English, but only in my key areas of expertise: marketing surveys, software, video games, gambling, and slang. For a small surcharge, my translations may be proofread by a native speaker of US/UK English as appropriate.
