[Wikipedia-l] [[WP:100K]] - who here writes well in Englishandanother language?

[Berto]

Hi!

Okay, I'll do it next week. Just bear in mind that I'm used to do it, and
that translating from a romance language into another will always be quicker
than (say) from chinese to en, or from RU to EN. It's the shape of the
phrases that it's already close enough since the very start.
