 Replying to [comment:20 kovshenin]:
 > Please don't translate WordPress, it's even worse than a lower case P,
 dangit :(

 > Also translation and transliteration are different things, and (someone
 mentioned above) ВордПресс (yuck!!!) is not a translation, but rather a
 transliteration, i.e. the same word, but in Cyrillic. If that was
 translated, it'd look something like СловоНажатие (wich literally means "a
 word" and "to press") or some other silly thing. So my vote is *no* for
 transliteration, and bigger *no* for translation.

 Maybe it's "yuck" thing in the Latin languages, but It make sense for
 languages like Arabic,Chinese...etc ,

 Please try to see the whole image :)
