Hello.

Russian translation of Parted has a potentially disastrous error: "unit" is translated as "device" where it means "unit of measurement". The attached patch for parted-3.1.ru.po corrects this.

I apologize, if you get this letter, but have nothing to do with Parted or its translation. Parted doesn't seem to use any bug tracker and it's hard to figure who's responsible for what.
