It's a correct translation.

Ah so there is not a number 6 in it. Makes more sense now.

That's not number 6, that is letter B in Russian.

Russian uses Cyrillic, an alphabetical style that  differs in many respects from western styles. If I am remembering correct there are 33 letters, no 'w', not really an 'h', which is replaced with 'x', and has a pronunciation of 'kh'. There is a figure for 'ch', as well as 'sh' and 'zh', to last to replace 'j'.

 

Eastern European languages are very interesting in their grammar, and the Cyrillic characters are all in place for a specific enunciation of a word.

Hello there

 

Obviously im aware of the Cyrillic alphabet but I have a, perhaps foolish, question.

 

Is there more than one Cyrillic alphabet? Ie different variations for different countries or like our Alphabet is it "universal"?

I think its universal...

 

It is currently used exclusively or as one of several alphabets for more than 50 languages

There are variations of the alphabet for many languages.

 

This is copied from the second paragraph of the link I posted above.

 

Non-Slavic alphabets are generally modelled after Russian, but often bear striking differences, particularly when adapted for Caucasian languages. The first few of them were generated by Orthodox missionaries for the Finnic and Turkic peoples of Idel-Ural (MariUdmurtMordvaChuvashKerashen Tatars) in the 1870s. Later such alphabets were created for some of the Siberianand Caucasus peoples who had recently converted to Christianity. In the 1930s, some of those alphabets were switched to the Uniform Turkic Alphabet. All of the peoples of the former Soviet Union who had been using an Arabic or other Asian script (Mongolian script, etc.) also adopted Cyrillic alphabets 

 

 

Western slavic languages also have many variations of the alphabet, particularly southern slavic languages such as Serbian and Bulgarian.

 

In addition, traditionally Latin alphabet languages such as Polish (because of its ties to Catholicism rather than Orthodoxy) have also been adapted to use cyrillic letters, although it is less common.
