Not just translation. Changes in this version:
- added Russian translation
- ship bell sound replaced with less annoying
- fixed image offset bug for ships in dock
- changed starting dates for some ships
- some ship properties changes for better balance
- ship autorefitting enabled for convenience
- cargo_age_period value changed to match value in Squid ate Fish, also it's different for ships - cargo will decay faster in small ships

Brig and Schooner start at the same time, next Barque and Merchantman appear in the middle of 17xx, starting dates for other ships are not changed.

Ship balance was reworked to fit better with Squid ships set. I found that in original Sailing Ships set Schooner and Clipper were too effective making other ships useless.

Big ships (Clipper, Windjammer, Steamship) have reduced speed on rivers/canals, also loading speed was reduced for big ships.

There is also more differentiation in cargo:
Brig and Barque are good for cheap bulk cargo transport but less effective for quick decaying cargo because of slow speed, and they cannot transport mail/passengers.
Schooner and Merchantman are faster and can transport various goods and also mail/passengers, but not bulk cargo, also they have higher running costs than Brig and Barque.
Clipper is good for transportation on medium/long range but has higher running cost than Merchantman and reduced loading speed.
Steamship and Windjammer are good for long range transportation and can be better than early ships from Squid starting from 1860, but they cost more.

For balancing, I compared total price, life in years, running cost and capacity for different ships.

I only made some quick tests for this set, but since all changes are only small parameter tweaks I think it should work fine.

1. Was this based on the 0.62 source code posted on the forums, or the 0.7 code posted on the repository?

2. Would you consider forking this into a new projected, hosted on openttdcoop, so that others can make contributions such as new graphics and translations?
