Some people requested a Russian UI.

[ ] figure out which localization tool to use for strings, perhaps Babel?
[ ] find a privacy-preserving way to store a user's language preferences
[ ] ensure the strings are factored out into separate resources, to make translations by contributors easy

A privacy-preserving way to store the user preferences would be to hash the name+username string, and use that as a key in key-value store.

Andrew suggested the use of the language_code attribute of a user profile: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#user

This is the way to go.
