Version of Joomla! 1.5.24 localized demonstration materials and pre-Russian language dialogues. This distribution does not differ from the standard, except for pre-Russian Language Packs, demo materials in Russian, the language files TinyMCE and license text that is displayed during installation.

A few words for newbies about why had to create a separate "Russified" distribution.

One of the innovations of version 1.5 was a special mechanism of localization of text variables.

This menu names administrative panel, tooltips, buttons and signatures from other system text elements. But apart from that in the standard package Joomla! 1.5 contains a large number of so-called "examples of content" or "demo data." This is the text of articles, news feeds, links, banners and other content displayed on the site immediately after the installation of Joomla!. Bear in packs texts these examples developers somehow did not. As a result, the user installs English Joomla! and packs it, saw a strange sight - dialogues, system messages and signatures from the buttons displayed on the Russian language, and texts of articles - in English.

Many newcomers is baffling and suggestive of the localization system malfunction or most Joomla!. This is not surprising, seemingly set crack - everything should be in Russian! In addition, developers generally not provided by the ability to quickly install localization packages for embedded Visual Editor - TinyMCE. To eliminate those pesky paradoxes and this version was made distribution Joomla! 1.5, which translated into Russian in general, all that can be done!
