Russian term or phrase: улица
Так как все-таки пишем правильно на английском наши адреса? Встречаю регулярно как со Str. ,так и с Ul.

Belarus
ul./St.
Explanation:
Generally speaking, it is better to use "ul.", on the assumption that the recipient of your address will want to use it to mail letters to you, and that while a Russian postman may be able to read Latin characters, he will not necessarily know English.
If you do wish to translate "ul.", the abbreviation for "Street" in English is "St.", not "Str".
"Str." is correct for German (Straße).

The order is house number, street, town, postcode, country. E.g.

37 Elizabeth Street,
Cambridge,
CM21 8ZP,
United Kingdom.

Если русскоязычный, сохраняется русскоязычный порядок написания адреса.

Transliterate the letter. А Б В Г Д should be A B V G D, not A B C D E.
That's what I'd do anyway.

Street or ulitsa


Explanation:
I would not really use abbreviations. For anything else than the address on an envelope, or something for actual mailing, I would use Street. There is no single rule-- it depends what the address is for.

Asker: Thank you!!!

Asker: А порядок записи правильный подскажите плииз!

Asker: Спасибо! Но я имела в виду порядок записи русскоязычных адресов. Копируется ли порядок записи с англоязычных либо сохраняется русскоязычный порядок написания адреса?

Asker: Спасибо огромное! А как быть с такой ситуацией, когда номер дома пишут с буквой, как например, 10Г ?
