Well, many of the translated German map names are a bit...err..."uncool"...
Most of them are not translated badly in any way, but...it's just "Why??". In other words, leave the original names. That's what the authors called them, and that's what should stay. If a German makes a map and wants to give it a German name, fine. But there's no need to translate established and carefully picked names.
For the Russian version: Now that you mention it, I thought so as well...but according to Westwood's FTP, there's no Russian patch to either RA2 1.006 or YR 1.001. And I don't remember seeing one there at any time, either.
Which means, thought simple, even if there is a Russian RA2, they could not have Yuri, because it requires 1.006, and even if they MacGyvered that, they couldn't use 1.002, because our patch doesn't like non-1.001-exes.
