- obiterdictum 16y agoA correction: as far as I recall the author studied in US at some point of time.
- chrisbroadfoot 16y agoInteresting. So why does he get someone else to translate his articles? Maybe he's not that confident with his English skills.
- Vivtek 16y agoBecause he knows that unless he's really talented at language, he's better off expressing his thoughts in his native language, then paying a professional to translate them? I've spoken German fluently for over twenty years and translate it professionally to the tune of a million words a year - thus I'm no slouch with the German language - yet if I were to build a site for my services in Germany, you can damn well bet I'd pay a translator to produce the German.
- obiterdictum 16y agoHe runs the biggest design studio in Russia, so I suppose he does not have that much time to translate his entire website into English.
