   Hi Mari, I don’t have anything submitted for VP for a crochet stitch in Russian. Are you certain the pattern is written in Russian?

   Hi there, I am looking to find a translation for VP.

   Hi Cheryl, I’m sorry the post didn’t help you. I’m afraid Russian is the most difficult to provide accurate translations for because they use a Cyrillic Alphabet and it is not an option on my keyboard to make the words searchable like the other languages. I hope you are able to figure out the pattern using another source online! Best of luck, Rhondda

   I am unable to find any of the abbreviations I am looking for from your posts. All of te translation options I have tried have not helped me any.

   if you have seen this: соединительный столбик
   in some fonts, this looks like сое[backwards б]uнumельныŭ сmолбuк
   the symbol associated with this is the cap of a column stitch. some eastern charts do not use caps on singular column stitches like western charts, and this symbol appears where column stitches are completed together (like dctog), hence translates as “combined columns”.
   in this same chart style, the symbol for a slip stitch has a cap, looking like the more universal hdc symbol.

   Hi Gabriella, it looks like someone has already tried to translate those or Google Translate has auto transferred the page for you – Russian languages uses a Cyrillic Script. Did the instructions include at the top abbreviations for the terms being used? Usually they provide a list of terms. Maybe you can cross check those? Best, Rhondda

   3. (1 SBN, D) * 6 (18)
   4. (2 PRS, D) * 6 (24)
   5. (3 PRS, D) * 6 (30)

   Could you translate this?

   Is it
   1 sc, inc
   2 sc, inc
   3 sc, inc?

    Hi Paula, I only have the ones on my site currently – are you are the vpp and vp are the term used in Russian? or is that what google translated it to? the Google translation often gives us the wrong letter for the symbol and sometimes the УБ becomes yb – the УБ is actually ‘decrease’ for example sc2tog. Sometimes google also gives us vp for ПР and ПР means increase – or 2 sts in the next st. If I have been given an abbreviation it will be listed in the chart on the page in parenthesis – for example: increase прибавка (ПР or приб)

    I hope this helps a bit!

    Is there anywhere I can find Russian abbreviations in English? Vpp, vp, ub, yb? Or a good chart that has the general translations?

    I found a crochet pattern for a sleeping elephang, however it was in russian. I translated most of but am having trouble with this phrase under designations – столбик без накида which windows translates to “column without cape”. Can you help to clear up?

    Thank you

    Hi Bert, It looks like the changes to wordpress resized my image and now it is all fuzzy! I will have to see if I can find the original file in storage to readd it as I cannot type out the translated characters on my computer – I do not have a Russian Keyboard – it was submitted by a reader for us who lives in Russia. I will try to do this as soon as I can for now though you may find this helpful: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/26/4e/9d/264e9d2f13e995acc017481096d71bc1.jpg

    Hi Aimee, I’m not familiar with that – is that the google translation? or the original term used in russian? Thanks, Rhondda

    Hi Anna 🙂 I apologize for the delay in my response! The information above is actually an image – check on PrintFriendly to make sure the little box beside ‘remove images’ is unchecked – it might be why it isn’t saving. We were having trouble printing the characters for Russian and some of the other languages because the ‘font’ was not recognizable so it is in the image format now to make sure the characters show up. I hope this helps! You might be able to save it by right clicking with the mouse button and then ‘save image’ too 🙂 All the best, Rhondda

    Hi Rhondda

    I love that you’ve undertaken this Translation Project! SO desperately needed by the multitude of us uni-linguists. I have tried on several occasions to print one or the other of these pages, using both the Print Friendly icon at the bottom of the page, and the version of the same program on my desktop. Nothing happens at all using the icon on the page, but when I use the icon on my desktop, I only get the header and footer of the page. I have looked at all my settings – is it possible that it’s something with your settings?

    Thank you so much,
    Anna
