Perhaps this will make a bit of a change from Latin translation!
I have been asked at very short notice to provide the wording for a notice in Russian - "NO SMOKING"
I have consulted various dictionaries and a fair sprinking of websites, and none of the agree. What's more, when I pasted the Russian words from any one website into the multilingual look-ups on another, I ALWAYS got the response that the word was not known.
The best I have found so far is either
Куритъ Воспрещáется
or
Не Курить
but since that's in Cyrillic script it might come out as complete nonsense on your screen.
Thing is - can anyone confirm either of these (or come up with something else) by Tuesday 5th June. Please?

I know it is late, but both translations are correct and look OK on my screen.

| | Re: Russian phrase | | I asked one of the Russian speaking engineers here and he said
"NE KURIT" is Russian for NO SMOKING.
Hope this helps
