    <description>Russian</description>

  </configItem>
  <variantList>

4. For iBus, add into file /usr/share/ibus/component/simple.xml somewhere under section engines

 <engine>
    <name>xkb:ru:diktor:rus</name>
    <language>ru</language>
    <license>GPL</license>
    <author>Oleksandr Dievri</author>
    <layout>ru</layout>
