@leha-bot Done! You can now translate and preview `ru_RU`:
- Preview: [cmake-docs-l10n/ru-ru](https://projects.localizethedocs.org/cmake-docs-l10n/ru-ru)
- Crowdin: [cmake-docs-l10n/ru](https://localizethedocs.crowdin.com/cmake-docs-l10n/ru)
If translators want to translate a new language, they just need to open a new issue for the requested language, like this example:
>
>
> \### Language Request
>
> \- \*\*Locale Code:\*\* \`ru\_RU\`
> \- \*\*English Name:\*\* Russian
> \- \*β¦\*Native Name:\*\* Π ΡΡΡΠΊΠΈΠΉ
> \- \*\*Crowdin Code:\*\* \`ru\`
> \- \*\*ReadTheDocs Code:\*\* \`ru\`
>
>
> \### Checklist
>
> \- \[x\] The language is not requested yet.
> \- \[x\] The language is available in \[Language Table\](https://github.com/localizethedocs/lang-table).
Once a pull request (PR) closes that issue, the translation work can begin:
