Re: What I find an important topic is (4.00 / 3)

Actual translation:

Maybe I should start commenting in Polish. I'm sure everyone will understand me. You all studied Polish in school - after all, it's a very useful language. Hmmh, maybe it's not such a good idea. I'll think about it.

I like the way that Polish got translated as English. I think it uses some sort of statistical analysis, so that a reference to Polish in Polish corresponds to a reference to English in English.

The classical example of this, now fixed, was the translation of Sarkozy (French) into Blair (English).
