Aspiring linguist here. I can give you a hand with correcting translation, if you want. I know Russian quite good or they say so.

Thanks for the offer. Knowing Russian, you're one up on me. My Ph.D. is in composition (postsecondary writing pedagogy), and stylistically I was able to iron out most of the warped verbage spat out by the Google Translation Kit (I quite frequently have to iron out warped verbage of students, so I've got lots of practice at it). But every so often (more often than I liked) there were lines that were completely baffling that I couldn't make heads or tails of (especially in The Hunt). So your skills could come in very handy. As the translations stand now, I expect there are some vague (and perhaps unintentionally hilarious) goofs throughout! I'm going to try my hand at translating "Evil Resistance: Morning of the Dead" (which I am told, by a Russian speaker who examined the cover art, more specifically translates into something like "Moscow and the Dead," which I think is much cooler). But I need a bit of downtime before undertaking it. Any problematic lines I come by though, I will definitely contact you, or post them here for you to examine. Thanks again!

That sounds good; looking forward to it.

Sure thing. I am now about 1.5 hrs. into Neuro and the translation files seem to be working fine. But I have noticed that when the characters get blabbing on screen, some of the subs can flick by real fast. Speed reading your way through a game! It's a new sport....

English spoken "Traque" very cool. I'll be getting that, though it is pricey for overseas shipping (total cost to U.S. about $43). Doomed Space Marine's translation is an ecrypted .rar, so haven't had a chance to compare. I will post "Evil Resistance" translation eventually; actually the English text files (for most of the game) are already there, just not active, so I'm renaming files to change that. Only problem: The introduction and epilogue fmv's, there are no subs on screen. So, I'm trying to re-encode the .ogg movie files and place subs on top of them. Not sure what the quality will be, though they should be readable (and the two movie files are only small parts of the game at the beginning and end, so no big deal if quality is iffy). Thanks again.
