Do you mean, inside their {desktop,web} apps too?
If so do they switch their keyboard layout to US before entering, say,
their GMail password? Or do they use the US layout permanently?

I find it very much less confusing the other way around.
And the keyboard indicator is gone, btw.
Having only *one* place where information about desired keyboard
layout is displayed, can be changed, and matches the actual current
keyboard layout, like our master branch currently does, seems best.

I would have been happy to cherry pick your last translation commit
(b88c31fe), but it also contains an unrelated change, that is
importing back a duplicated piece of code that we have removed:
+from GdmGreeter.gsocpanel import GsocPanel
So I had to painfully extract your (much welcome!) Russian translation
update from that commit. Could you please save translation updates
into separate commits in the future?

Done in tails-greeter (0.1.1~5.gbp40e870) that I'll push later today.

Confirmed. Seems like Alan did his tests without updating the POT/PO
files. Thanks for the hint! This works nicely in 0.1.1~5.gbp40e870.
Cheers,
