MA-3

MA-3 is composed by more than 70 modules, and not all of them are used in Russia. Due to the product integration model is not easy to isolate which objects (from metadata, help or sources) are being used in MA-3 released environment, and translate only the objects that will be used for Russian clients. On the other hand, translating all would be expensive and senseless.
