I love language nuances and clear explanations. Possibly that would not be fast from my side but I believe this kind of project doesn't have to reflect language changes immediately when it comes to interpreter. Also a lot of time would spend on new content quality but I believe when I ask for a help with not my native English language can always find it. At least I'm brave enough to pick up the gauntlet.
