The solution: the ways of addressing people advised in the course was different from what is normal in Russia, so with Hilti’s consent the text was changed by the translators in line with local customs. The measurements, dates and names of people in given examples of phone calls were also changed into more appropriate Russian ones. While the text was translated, Rulex in-house engineers worked on the program’s interface to enable Cyrillic (not supported by the original Flash course), which is used in the Russian language.
