What I normally do when using this combination of plugins is to create one form per language. Easy and effective. You could also try qTranslate quicktags: [:en]English text[:ru]Фамилия. But much probably this will lead to some issues down the road.
One way is to use the WordPress i18n tools. I had to checkout WordPress trunk to make it work. On the command line: svn co http://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk once you have trunk somewhere, you’ll then want to call the makepot script.

To get the looong list of translatable WordPress strings just use: print ‘<pre>’ . htmlspecialchars( print_r( $GLOBALS[‘l10n’][‘default’], TRUE ) ) . ‘</pre>’; Do not use these strings in your theme or plugin. They are internal, de facto private. They can change any time, even in minor updates. … Read more
