I'm not asking for more, but who will do the translation?
I often receive emails from people who say, "We'd like to be useful for something in a world that increasingly resembles the Titanic."
Suggestion: contact me and translate the articles into English. Send me ready-to-insert HTML pages. It would take me a long time to assemble them myself. If images have captions, please translate those into English too. This is valuable work.
My email address:
For heaven's sake, high school students—stop asking me to supervise your personal projects (TPE), and oddball enthusiasts—stop bothering me with questions. There are more urgent things to do.
