The desktop entry and the AppStream metainfo currently ship English only, so on a Russian system micro shows up in the application menu and in software centers like GNOME Software or KDE Discover with untranslated text. This adds Russian for the generic name, the comment and the keywords in micro.desktop, and for the summary, the description and the screenshot caption in the metainfo file. The name Micro is left alone, and nothing changes for anyone not running a Russian locale.

I tried it on Arch with KDE Plasma 6 under ru_RU.UTF-8: with the modified micro.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications and the caches rebuilt, the menu entry reads "Редактирование текстовых файлов в терминале", while the very same file under an English locale still reads "Edit text files in a terminal". desktop-file-validate and appstreamcli validate say exactly what they said before the change, and passing the metainfo through appstreamcli compose and convert shows the Russian summary, description and keywords landing in the generated DEP-11 catalog that software centers actually read.

Happy to adjust the phrasing if you would rather have the description follow the English text more literally.
