Special symbols: language-specific

  1. In Russian and Armenian symbol @ is pronounced as собака (means dog). It's official meaning (you can hear it in commercial and news)
  2. When you want to number things, you use # for it (#1, #2) in english. In russian you should use № (№1, №2, №3)
  3. Using digits - don't use comma to separate thousands etc.
    100,250 would be translated as 100250
  4. "Dot" you use to separate decimals is translated as comma
    1.25 is 1,25
  5. In URLs "dot" is translated as "точка". So domain .RU would be точка-ру
