A correction: as far as I recall the author studied in US at some point of time.



Interesting. So why does he get someone else to translate his articles? Maybe he's not that confident with his English skills.


He runs the biggest design studio in Russia, so I suppose he does not have that much time to translate his entire website into English.


Because 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.
