Not gonna help, they'll go back to using unofficial translations. There were a lot of those back in the 90s when Western software companies ignored ex-Soviet markets because there wasn't any money to be made there.
I've used a lot of them personally, especially games. Some of those translations were pretty good, and some were so bad they were actually hilarious, and have become a meme (like "wasted → потрачено" in GTA San Andreas)

(of course since the guy is only doing gamedev as a hobby, his stance regarding piracy of his own games is quite relaxed)
- UnFleshedOne 5y agoWell, I've seen hilarious translations in official versions too. RAM translated as "Male sheep" on android system info screen for example.
