Permission scope for separate Russian translation supplements (AI assistance disclosed) #195

Hi Vanilla Expanded maintainers,

I maintain RimWorld Russian Translations. Your VEF reply to French PR #106 directs translations to separate mods; the Security reply to Japanese PR #1 also permits that contributor to publish a translation mod. Before applying that approach to current ND-licensed releases, may we clarify its scope once for these prepared translations?

• Vanilla Expanded Framework
• Vanilla Vehicles Expanded - Tier 3, Vanilla Vehicles Expanded - Upgrades
• Vanilla Factions Expanded - Empire, Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2, Vanilla Factions Expanded - Medieval 2
• Vanilla Gravship Expanded - Chapter 1, Vanilla Gravship Expanded - Chapter 2
• Vanilla Apparel Expanded — Accessories, Vanilla Apparel Expanded, Vanilla Armour Expanded
• Vanilla Social Interactions Expanded, Vanilla Trading Expanded
• Vanilla Books Expanded, Vanilla Brewing Expanded, Vanilla Cooking Expanded
• Vanilla Events Expanded, Vanilla Landmarks Expanded
• Vanilla Furniture Expanded, Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Security
• Vanilla Quests Expanded - Ancients, Vanilla Quests Expanded - The Generator
• Vanilla Christmas Expanded

The proposed Workshop supplements would be free, text-only Russian language patches requiring the original mods, with original-author credits and source links. We would use our own typographic covers. Original artwork, DLLs and other original assets would not be redistributed. Any existing community text needs its own compatible rights and attribution; this request concerns our newly prepared text.

AI assistance is disclosed: local-model drafts were individually checked and revised using OpenAI Codex. Independent human proofreading is not claimed. Selected values have been loaded and read back in an isolated RimWorld 1.7 profile; this was startup/field checking, not an extended colony test. Every release still needs fresh source, duplicate-coverage and game checks.

Does your separate-translation policy permit these Russian supplements, including this disclosed AI-assisted process? Please identify which listed mods and coauthors your answer covers, any further permissions needed, and the required license/credit/update conditions. If the policy applies only to specific mods or different translation practices, we will follow that scope. One consolidated request to avoid repeated contacts. Thank you.
