More interesting than link bait. http://kukuruku.com http://kukuruku.com a site that is doing translations from Russian to English of articles originally appearing on http://habrhabr.ru http://habrhabr.ru. Most of the articles are solid technical content that would otherwise be inaccessible to non-Russian speakers. Here's some previous discussion on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7770887 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7770887
On its own, this would be great, but the issue is that these translations are not necessarily authorized in advance, and the attribution was not originally present. But there is now an 'original source' link at the top of each translation, and the translators feel they are adhering to the use policies of Habrhabr.
I was dubious initially, but at this point I'm mostly convinced that their intents are good, and I appreciate having access to these articles that I otherwise would not be able to enjoy. I think they are open to suggestions of how to improve their approach, and hope they eventually find a solution that satisfies all parties.
