RE: Game Translation
You can change most of the menu (M) items using a resource hacking tool, I just did this with Stefans fine Divided Ground mod dealing with the Cold War, I'm helping to test with. He has it all in German, and while I understand some, it was too confusing, so it took about 3-4 hours with Reshack and PEresource editor to change it all back to English! Some items you need to then use a hex editor to change in the EXE's also, that you can't use the afore mentioned editors!! Not for the faint of heart, but doable!

The items you use the hex editor for are tricky, they need to stay in certain length of bytes (i'm not a programmer, so sorry to not use correct terminology!), but the menu items using the other two editorse, can be varied lengths, withing confines of the actual menu space alotted. Say for instance, in the game header screens where it says Allied or Axis starshells, you can't have too long of a word before starshell, or it will toss starshell off!

As far as cyrillic support, I don't know, but I'm sure the translations can be done...
