[Translators-l] Translation Help: Stacks, Boards, Sets

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Thank you so much for asking this and being considerate of translators so
early in the process! This should be done always :)

Hebrew:
* Stack: The same word as for "heap" is usually used. I asked another
person and checked a dictionary. If it's important to denote that it's neat
I could think of some ways.
* Boards: Easy to translate. Would the same that is used in Flow work?
* Set: There are several words depending on context, but not very
challenging. As always, good explanation of context is important (it's
called "qqq" in MedaiWiki jargon).

Russian:
* Stack and Board: Easy to translate.
* Set: as in Hebrew, several words could be used, but with good context
documentation it will be easy to find something appropriate.

>    of one another ("a stack of paper")
>    - *Boards* -- not the wood kind, but like a notice board where
>    information can be displayed (like Pinterest Boards if you use Pinterest)
>    - *Sets* -- a collection of things, ideas, etc. ("a set of keys")
