My partner is Russian and we have a Russian following.  I'm going to have to know how to do this eventually. Any tips?  Do I have to add a special font?  Are there any fonts I shoudn't use.

Any pitfalls to consider? 

Where can I find the procedure in the documentation?

Yes, you need a special font. If you are using TrueType fonts, you'll have to add proper character set to the font definition (CHARSET=10 for Cyrillic). If you are suing bitmap fonts, you will have to generate different font images.
Other than that, the process is similar to other languages. All localizable texts should be extracted to a string table, the string table should be saved in UTF-8 format, so that you can conveniently edit it even in non-russian Windows.
See the Localization chapter in the documentation.

O--My--GOD.  I have learned how to do many things in WME so far and but on this one can only hope.  Will cope when I get there.  I have faith you'll help me, Mnemonic.  You always have come through.

Or else, Russians will just have to rely on their English.  : )  No problem.  :  )

Wait! I'm using Truetype fonts.  Maybe I'm saved.  :  )  If wasn't using TrueType fonts, I am now.  : ) 

OK, after first emotional reaction that this is something I can't do, since you're giving me the details and referring me to documentation, I'm hopeful.  Still relying on you to be there if necessary.  : )
