No. We has a 2 bugs.
1. If the game has no translation for current user locale (ru_RU), its crashed

2. Problem with text in the main menu.

Interesing
$locale -a
C
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU
ru_RU.cp1251
ru_RU.iso88595
ru_RU.koi8r
ru_RU.utf8
russian

but in /etc/locale.gen only have a
ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8
ru_RU ISO-8859-5
ru_RU.CP1251 CP1251
ru_RU.KOI8-R KOI8-R
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

LC_ALL=C has no work before svn patch.
