 * I think there is a problem with translations in admin panel, if WP language different
   from user language.
    If you set WP language to non-english and your admin user
   language to english WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips will show all info
   in non-english, but buttons and WP order statuses on english.
 * Also for exapmle in russian translation for invoice and package slip totaly mixed
   up. I was so confused until i understend that there is a problem with languages.
 * And one more problem. If language in system non-english saved(recived invoices)
   have names in non-english, but they are unreadable beacuse of wrong coding. So
   names unreadable. It will be best live file names on english if possible.

 * Hi! From what I understand, the concept of an ‘invoice’ in Russia is different
   from what it is in Europe, so this may need some further discussion with other
   native speakers about the correct term to use. I’m not sure if ‘Счет’ is a better
   translation than ‘Накладной’ or ‘счет-фактура’ as all three are financial documents
   which translate to invoice, whereas a packing slip does usually not contain any
   price or tax information and is merely to denote the contents of a package. So
   certainly ‘Счет-Фактура’ is an incorrect translation for packing slip, but perhaps‘
   Упаковочный лист’ is a more appropriate term?
 * I’m not a native Russian speaker and did not create those translations, but basically
   what I want to say is that since the concept of invoices is so different I would
   recommend to discuss this with some peers first.
 * The translations can be found here: [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips)
 * Tagging some of the translation team:

   can any of you comment on the above?

 * I don’t think that concept is so different. Plugin not tax law related. I think
   translator made a mistake.
 * Накладная – transtortation document to a product deliverying to a buyer (from
   dictionary). But in plugin it is used like translation for invoice. while it 
   is baisc «счет» invoice to a buyer.
 * Счет-Фактура – document writen buy a seller, in special gov regulated form, after
   product transfered to a buyer, used to get a tax refund. used as shipping-slip.
   I agree that it can be “Упаковочный лист».
 * Also what about main wordpress and admin user languages used in plugin???
