Off the top of my head and not tested.

Can you store the Russian choices somewhere, for example in a custom  
property or hidden field? And in the menuPick script make a  
comparison with the stored versions.

For example:

on menuPick pWhichItem

switch
case pWhichItem = line 1 of field "storedItems"
   ##
##etc.

end menuPick
