>Native English speakers generally don't accept translations done by anyone who's not a native English speaker as well Is it common practice in Poland (or anywhere else) for people to translate from their native language into another language? I have personally never heard of commercial translations being done by non-natives in any language, but I'd be very interested to learn about such a place.

> Is it common practice in Poland (or anywhere else) for people to translate from their native language into another language? I would say it's uncommon, but I think that after some digging I could maybe find a few examples of self-published work translated to English by the author. Off the top of my head I can only think of examples of books translated into Esperanto, but I assume this doesn't count. Historically Joseph Conrad was a Polish native speaker, but wrote exclusively in English so there's that.
