This is "Anonymous" again!!!


Explanation:
Anonymous looks like s/he is putting a whole text on the site for us to translate.

Yet s/he won't identify him/herself, won't even register FOR FREE and has not chosen answers to prior questions posted despite the best efforts of our colleagues!

In other words, are working for free for an anonymous person who doesn't appreciate or even acknowledge our work.

Also, the level of translation posted shows that this is someone who is totally unqualified to do this translation and is taking the job away from someone who is!!

Why should we condone this?
