I don't say that current value is not right.
Current value is right. But suggested value
possible more compies to meaning of status.

This issue suggests changing Russian translation for "Feedback" from "Обратная связь" to "Нужен отклик".
Comments from Russian speakers welcome.

(Mantis use same translation: //shvetsgroup.com/ru/blog/mantis //lib.custis.ru/Mantis)

• Serguei's variant "Нужен отклик" (Need response)
• smth like "Ожидается ответ" (Awaiting answer) or "Требуется ответ" (Answer required)
• it could even be translated to "Обсуждение" (Discussion).

In either case, it would be closer to the actual meaning of the "feedback status".

Serguei, тогда уж «Необходим» или же «Требуется», а не «Нужен» (какое-то разговорное слово).

Please post in English.

In my opininon the best translation would be Требуется обратная связь (i.e. Feedback required)

Why "Требуется обратная связь" and not just "Обратная связь": status names should describe current state of the issue, i.e. its quality (good/bad/open/closed and so on). Words "обратная связь" describe an item, not a quality. It's like naming issue status "chair" or "tree". It doesn't describe any quality of an issue. Normally you would name your status "chair required" if for some reason you want your issue to have a chair in it. Same here.

• Нужен отклик. Literally this is correct, but nobody ever speaks like that;
• Требуется ответ (Answer required). The word "ответ" is less formal than "обратная связь";
• Обсуждение (Discussion) - this changes the meaning of initial phrase. Requesting feedback doesn't mean you want to start a discussion with someone.

Agree!

Length of text is significant. This affects the width and height to table row and column. This is notable on desktop not only tablet. This field (and other) must be as minimimal as possible. Easy to use statuses colorification for most themes, so color instead of text is sign. Current value is most long status already. It is already too long. Value must be understandable and short like afm commands. Tooltip or help notice may enough long.

Do you think Нужен отклик is correct?

The translation Требуется обратная связь will have the same meaning as Нужен отклик in this context, but is shorter. The latter is important, as noted by Serguei Okladnikov.

Actually, Требуется ответ (response/answer needed) or even Ожидается ответ (awaiting response/answer) may fit here. I don't think that ответ (response/answer) is too informal in this case.

Honestly, I don't like the term обратная связь at all - it is long and looks weird in the context.

Требуется ответ or Ожидается ответ is same meaning as Нужен отклик.

I thought could me to suggest запрос (request) в качестве статуса. Suggestion ответ (requests) is helpfull to understand that it makes sence. All issue statuses have informational sence for client (or bug reporter) but status feedback is more significant for client (from point of view of developers and development process). Significance mean that client need to read carefully and write clarification or answer on developers question.

So ответ (answer) may be understanded by client that some responce is provided and may be ignored. However запрос (request) more probably involve client to see what is the request and than more probably involve client to write responce for request.

This well reflects the state, attracts the client to the necessary action, fits into the context, and is in good agreement with the other statuses, for example:

new: Новый
feedback: Запрос
resolved: Решён
closed: Закрыт

Well, in this case Нужен отклик or Требуется отклик will mean that a response is needed, and can't be ignored. The term Запрос (request) is a bit confusing and ambiguous. A request for what?

IMO Нужен отклик is clear enough and still short, Запрос is more confusing

I'm OK with current translation, as I think that Обратная связь (Feedback) have more general meaning than Нужен отклик (Response required/needed).
