Anatoly Sharifulin, the leader of RostovOnDon.pm, has translated brian's guide on solving any Perl problem into Russian. We've published it in both HTML and POD versions.

This translation is very close to the original text, and a couple of items are translated quite interesting. First, the The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was localized with Russian TV-reality. Second, several occurences of noun "master" (a word, which has no suitable direct translation) was translated with a word "guru", which became the synonym to "master" in the last two years for poiting to publicly known IT-specialist here in Russia. Well, to be honest, previous translation also used this word, and two interpreters found that translation independently — that is a real linguistic phenomenon :-)
