His name is Николай and spelling it in a different alphabet (such as the 
Latin alphabet used in English) is called transliteration, not translation.

It's extremely rude to ask someone to misspell their name just for your 
comfort.  His name is usually translated "Nikolai" or "Nikolay" but this 
is only an approximation of his name.  Maybe we can be a little more 
accepting of other people here?

While this is good advice, it's not given well.  A big strength of 
Ubuntu is that it welcomes beginners and other users, enthusiasts, and 
contributors of all skill levels.  Pointing Mr. Шатохин to the QML 
documentation with a link would be much gentler.

While it's not binding unless you've signed it, the Ubuntu Code of 
Conduct does a good job of summarizing how the project wishes developers 
and contributors to interact with each other:
