 Just got word from my editor that TDPL has been approved for translation 
 in Russian.



Just guessed that TDPL is "The D programming language" :))
Well, "approved for translation" - what it means? Can some people (like me :) )
do commercial translation? I mean people who speak native russian and have some
knowledge of D.

In case of some offers, my e-mail: thornik (at) gmail.com

Thanks! (I missed this message.) Approval came in response to a request 
from a Russian publishing house; they already have a translator. But 
thanks for the offer nevertheless!

Is the translator's name a secret? Perhaps a native Russian speaker could  
review some of their previous works?

 It's important. Most of CS-related books in Russian are almost
 unreadable, and usual
 recommendation is "read in English if you know at any acceptable level".



I'll ask my editor.

My editor just got back to me. TDPL will be translated by Nataly 
Danilina, with Igor Stepanov as technical reviewer.

If you'd like to offer reviewing the translation, I suggest you contact 
the publisher: Symbol-Plus (www.symbol.ru).

I can't find anything on the Internet about the translator. This might  
simply mean that there's no information about her on the Internet, however  
I fear that they simply may not have much experience in translation.

As for the reviewer, I found this:
http://www.labirint.ru/authors/47215/
He (or someone with the same name - the last name is quite common) is  
listed as the author or editor of these books, however none of those are  
even related to computers.

Would it be possible to ask for a few examples of their previous works?

Done, do you think they'll be interested?
