Description

I1 and I2 Remod are pretty much done (sans replay tweaks, but that's for when i'm done).

I was planning on translating all of the Russian texts from all of the series's textures, I1 and I2 had very little stuff to translate, so they were kind of easy.

Unfortunately, I4 is a bit hard to tackle.

It has literally hundreds of textures with Russian texts on them.
And i don't even know which one is important or if it's just junk that the mod doesn't even use.

Now i could try to translate them all.
Or i could throw it overboard.

I translated the texts by copying the letters one by one (literally, texture on one tab, Cyrillic alphabet lists on another tab, and translators on the others).
Or i use some auto image-to-text sites, but that takes a bit more time and effort if some of the text is blurred/hard to read, meaning trial and error is added to the mix.

Now for the most part, it's pretty accurate, a lot of it actually meant the thing, and sometimes i add things to the mix, making the wonky translation kind-of "proper" (well, for someone who uses English for a second language, that is).

Though the thing about this method of translating is that i've had actual foreigners complaining to me of the inaccuracies of the translation (see Dead Sector : Remod).

Now i require your votes, should i attempt this arduous task or should i perish the thought?
