A common workflow suggested for translators without SVN account
(and/or those who find it hard to use SVN) is as folllows:

 1. Go to https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/ru/ ("ru" for
Russian) and pick a .po translation file that needs update - e.g.
incomplete translation or one containing mistakes.

 2. Click on the .po file at l10n.kde.org to downloaded. WebSVN is
used for this.

 3. Edit the downloaded .po file, send for review, etc.


WebSVN is even mentioned in KDE's primary translation how-to:
