Made Russian translation less formal to player #94

Solves #93.

With this PR, I hope to bring more friendlier tone when it comes to game-player interaction for Russian audience. It builds upon the job done in #62.

In detail, edits only reflect how pronoun "вы" is transformed to pronoun "ты" with adjacent verb forms. It doesn't touch upon punctuation nor sense. Hence, I would like it to be merged before providing the new translations, so they can just follow the same tone.

There was a tiny thing with pronouns in rp_locks where you try to include a feminine suffix to the verb or rewrite it so gender doesn't matter. I opt in to the second option, as it's more neutral and still follows the informalized tone.

Hey, thanks!

Hmmm, so I see you also used informal tone for command help.
I suggest for commands to use the same tone as for the built-in Minetest commands, for consistency. Can you check the current Russian translation of Minetest?

If it's the same tone, great. If not, one of the two translations should change IMHO. Because it would be awkward if /help has a weid mix of tones.

Makes sense. I was hesitant, too. Just reverted this tone.

There is only one such line. Correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, is this ready for merge or do you need to do more?

Also, how do you like to be credited?

It was complete a long ago, just forgot to make it clearer. 😅

Cheers, vintprox.

I'm sorry for giving a late reply, was busy IRL and not really keeping up with Minetest stuff. I hope Wuzzy won't mind if I continue in Russian, as this message is for vintprox specifically.

@vintprox

Благодарю за внесённые изменения! Когда делал перевод, я даже не думал о том, пишу я в формальном тоне или не очень. Всё же вы правы, неформальный тон намного лучше подходит Repixture по стилю.

Насчёт "тобою". Как по мне, использовать творительный падеж в данном случае намного лучше, чем мучаться с вещами вроде "взломал(-а)". Можно было бы конечно писать всё в мужском роде и ссылаться на то, что слово "игрок" в русском языке уже мужского рода, но это откровенно так себе решение.

Надеюсь, что русская локализация для Repixture и дальше будет развиваться, уже неважно кем — мной, вами или ещё кем-либо. Главное, что здравое начало уже положено.
