Regarding exact translation from russian - there is nothing much to translate actually  Just two basic ideas - they are going for quality instead of rushing to meet some dead-lines, so (quote): "the patch will be ready when it will be ready". So, my guess, the patch will not be out for some days more.
Albeit good side of the post is that the patch is oriented towards improvement of the multiplay and that this objective seems to be completed.

yay thx Sphere
Hi everyone
Finally the 1.2 patch is approved and ready - it will be made available tomorrow !
We are really late (one month) with this patch, and I'm sorry about that. It took much longer than expected to debug the multiplayer desynchronisation, and it has been a step by step process, with no visibility of the completion. I hope the debugging process still allowed the coders to get their share of the football world cup showings
This patch brings a lot of new features into the game, and even more debug, beyond MP : you get the hall of fame, hotseat duel, a reworked battle result screen... Two MP maps are being added, more will be delivered in further patches. I'll update this post tomorrow with the final readme details, and the list of sites to download from.
Hopefully we'll be able to get the next patch ready with less than a month delay, but I wont give any deadline to avoid expectations and disappointments. This third patch will greatly improve the duel mode. The map editor is also getting ready, we had an extensive round of feedback done.
A few technical details. There are two ways to install this new patch. You can either download it from one of the sources that will be listed tomorrow (as for the first patch), or you can use the upgradelauncher application coming with the first patch. It will automatically retrieve the correct patch version and install it. You should use the first solution if downloading is too long with the second one (as there is a unique source in this case).
Keep up the faith - everything is coming in time ! And dont go headbutting anyone

Release time...
Hey,
- I have found a few links as to the release time ( hopefully ) on thursday the 20th -06.
- Ubi official ( english ) : release and requirements
- And from a german site : Drachenwald.net - forum / heute
- Both should contain some official information from Ubi_Marc.
- Also worth noticing is [ "... instead of being a month late, why not just release the other fixes via the autopatcher? apparantly the autopatcher is what delayed patch 1.1, and you dont even use it?
..." ] <- taken from Elrath
- Well, lets hope it does see the light of day today 
-[EDIT] Just went through the Ubi channels and found this too. As you can see it's reguarding the installation of the patch, and this particular thread will be updated when the pacth goes live.  : Tech help for 1.0-1.1 and 1.2
