The displayed constellation names depend on your own settings in the Skycultures dialog and on completeness of translations. You can become active and help with the latter. And be at least more precise: what is the current skyculture, what are your settings (screenshot), which constellations exactly, ...

Hello @IngaAlapova, we need more info and feedback!
The hardware info, steps of reproduction and log file are really important and help us resolve over 90% issues fast. Of course, in some specific cases we need more data, but we ask the required data separately...

Thank you @IngaAlapova!
In future please use Transifex to fix and improve translations:

Some of the constellation names are reflected in another language instead of Russian (I noticed incorrect names for the constellations Auriga, Ursa Minor, and Cygnus)

@IngaAlapova the Russian translation is complete and Stellarium should show all constellations in Russian language when it selects. Please show screenshot with problem.

Be sure to choose "перевод" in the sky culture name settings ("Информационное название"). With this I have the correct names for the three constellations you named:

@10110111 Ursa Major is selected, but OP want Ursa Minor ;)

Actually, indeed I can confirm that the original 25.3 has some names untranslated. Might be related to #4553.
In any case, please try the latest development snapshot: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/tag/weekly-snapshot .

@10110111 I forgot to update the archive with translations before releasing :(
@IngaAlapova thanks for reporting

Why do we have Водонос instead of Водолей?
IngaAlapova commentedon Oct 22, 2025
Well, the main thing is that we figured it out, and I hope that this error will no longer be present in the new version of the program.
Fix translations issue (fix Stellarium#4607)

I'll revise IAU constellation names at Transifex (looks like context issue)
