It is closer to 75% or 50%. Every piece of code that uses standard IMAP
folder names or custom folder list generation functions must be changed.
SquirrelMail is IMAP client. We don't have abstraction level between IMAP
folder listing and SquirrelMail folder listing.

INBOX folder name is controlled in translation. Other special folders are
not. If you see INBOX.Some-Russian-Name, check folder listing styles in
Folder preferences.
