Hi, Nikolay. Sure, no problem, I have longer holiday this year in my country.

I have a question regarding the preliminary RC & beta. How could we,
the translator sure that the local RC or beta release resemble the
English version of WordPress, since the RC & beta don't have their own
tag directory? We can combine both trunk (localization repository &
WP's main repository), but if we do it late, the trunk state is not
similar with the desired RC or beta anymore. It's another story if we
could select which revision to use.
