For those of you who don't speak Russian and are bothered by the fact that you can't read the inscriptions under the instruments, I've made an English translation. Using this will translate into English the inscriptions that vary from country to country on the original aircraft. This means, for example, that the language of the radio and other auxiliary equipment will remain Russian. They can be translated later if required.
Installation:
- copy back your original russian textures (that you backed up earlier...I hope, at least :-D) into his original place
MS Store version:
...\MSFS2020\Official\OneStore\microsoft-aircraft-antonov2\SimObjects\Airplanes\Microsoft_Antonov2_Wheels\texture.base\
Steam version:
...\MSFS2020\Packages\Official\Steam\microsoft-aircraft-antonov2\SimObjects\Airplanes\Microsoft_Antonov2_Wheels\texture.base\
- unpack and copy my files into your 'Community' folder.
Attention!
After installation, all original Asobo paint versions will become English! The translation does not necessarily affect the repaints downloaded and installed afterwards!
Quick note:
Because of MSFS directory prioritising, folder name renamed with 'ZZZ_' in order to automically override any existing textures in any livery.
Credits:
A big thanks and all credits goes to @AdamskiNZ who arranged my files to the Community folder-compatibility.

Been searching for the same Translation, but for my favorite Aircraft... the Microsoft FS2020 edition Sir Oleg's Wonderful "An225". Hoping that's your next project.
May you always be abundantly Blessed for following your JOY.

Thank you for this...I was waiting for this mod before I flew the Colt...now just starting. Did find a 3rd party livery that the mod does not change the labels...they stay in Russan. It's the Aeroflot-32338 livery. Only add-on livery I'm using at the moment as it's for the float version. Thanks for your help.

On the repaint you mentioned, the cockpit texts remain in Russian because the author included these Russian cockpit textures, so they are given priority. Sorry.

Very grateful for this! I'm loving the AN-2 but the English translations make the experience so much easier to get into this quirky airplane!

Just a quick note to people using the "Community" style version. If you'd like to have English translations for other liveries that have their own language texture files, then rename the corresponding textures. Providing the Community version of this addon is active (I use Linker) then you should see English labels.
CORRECTION (after further testing): for this to work with other liveries, you need to actually delete the existing texture files (and .json files) then rebuild/recreate the layout.json file. Be sure to back up those files in case you don't have the original downloaded archive.

Thank you.

Very nice work.
Note: "P8" this is an error in the Russian text, correct "РВ". In translation it should be "R.ALT" (Radio altimeter).

Thanks so much for the info, i'll be fix it in the upcoming update! Unfortunately I have only two character space on the texture so I can't use more letters than two. :(

Hi, very nice work 😊
Small note😊 : The fuel valve needs repair. The labels do not fit its position.

Thank you for a job well done. Been waiting for this since the Colt came out. Was very tired of using pop up menus. Thank you..
