Description

# Introduction

Currently the russian translation for ep1-8 only supports the Windows/Steam configuration. Other configurations may not boot or have the "purple text" issue because the UI files for other configurations are not provided

While you can play, with mod's English UI file, there is some interest in fixing it properly...and my estimate is that it shouldn't be that hard to fix.

I'm attempting to contact the ru translation team, but if we cannot get hold of them, then we'll apply the fixes and rehost the files ourselves for the time being.

Also note that the team for ch 1-8 translation is different from the team for ch9-10 translation. The ch9-10 translation team is currently active, so if a bug is found with ch9-10 they should be contacted directly.

## Previous work

Previously (in 2023)[ I contacted them about ch8 to fix something](https://github.com/wf1264/meakashi-ru/issues/1#), and while doing that I setup a repo to build the UI file (just the steam one). I dunno why I didn't just make it a branch of the existing repo.

Anyway, we can use that as a base, that will make it much easier for us as it's already "set up" and known working configuration.

Research direction

The work involves the UI-editing-scripts repository, specifically the 'l-russian' branch. Start by extracting assets from the Russian UI file for chapters 1-8 using the instructions in the repo's README. Compare the extracted files with the existing UI files to identify missing textures like 'tipsback.png'. After making fixes, run the GitHub Actions build to generate updated patches.
