Two New Translations

I recently received copies of two of my book translations. I hardly ever never know when a book is being translated. On rare occasions, a translator will contact me with questions. But mostly, the translated books are surpises.

• Excel 2007 PL Formuly - Translated into Polish by Lukasz Piwko and Wojciech Demsk
• Excel 2007 Grande Guida Per Il Professionista - Translated into Italian by Anna Rizzon, Carolina Figini, and Pier Franco Chillin

I'm almost always impressed with the translated books, even though I can't read them. An amazing amount of work is involved translating all files and re-doing the screen shots.

Sometimes I wonder who these translators are. Just for fun, I Googled the three people who translated the Excel 2007 Bible into Italian.

• Anna Rizzon has written at least one book. She's also made a few contributions to Wikiwords and (if this site is accurate) she earns 7.4 cents per word.
• Here's the resume of Carolina Figini (Word file), and her listing at Translators Cafe. Plus, an online petition that she signed.
• Pier Franco Chillin wrote an least one book, HTML in Your Pocket.
