English (values/strings_all.xml):

<string name="Sewer_TileWater">Murky water</string>
<string name="Sewer_TileDescDeco">Wet yellowish moss covers the floor.</string>
<string name="Sewer_TileDescBookshelf">The bookshelf is packed with cheap useless books. Might it burn?</string>
<string name="WndStory_Sewers">The dungeon is located exactly under the city, the upper levels are effectively the city sewers. Being conditionally part of the city, these levels are not so dangerous. Of course they can't be called safe either, but at least here you don't have to worry about dark magic.</string>

Russian (values-ru/strings_all.xml):

<string name="Sewer_TileWater">Мутная вода</string>
<string name="Sewer_TileDescDeco">Влажный желтоватый мох растянулся по полу.</string>
<string name="Sewer_TileDescBookshelf">Полки заставлены дешёвыми бесполезными книгами. Интересно, загорится?</string>
<string name="WndStory_Sewers">Подземелье расположено точно под городом, верхние уровни фактически являются канализацией города. Будучи условно частью города, эти уровни не столь опасны. Конечно безопасными их тоже не назовёшь, но, по крайней мере, здесь не приходится волноваться о зловещей магии.</string>
