Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.18,0:02:46.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than literary translation, right --\Nat least, that's what I believe --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.84,0:02:49.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I decided to start doing it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.49,0:02:52.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there are things which I do regularly.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.60,0:02:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, every week I translate \Ntech news from the developers

Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.27,0:03:13.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is true in a broad sense, as well:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.40,0:03:16.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the more information\Nin Ukrainian is on the internet,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.27,0:03:18.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the cooler it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.89,0:03:23.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because, I believe that everyone came \Nacross a bad machine translation

Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.51,0:03:34.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This gives bad impression of the Internet,\Nas a stockpile of information,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.22,0:03:48.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is why I believe that good texts,\Nmade by good translators,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.46,0:03:50.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are indeed useful.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.46,0:03:58.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The more diverse information a speaker of \Nany language can read in their language,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.46,0:04:04.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the better, the easier it is for everyone,\Nthe less time this person will waste

Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.44,0:04:16.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will be easier for them to spend their \Ntime in good mood for something else.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.23,0:04:23.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is why I believe that those who make\Ntranslations are indeed very good people.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.41,0:04:35.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I am very pleased when I can \Ntranslate an article, for example,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.41,0:04:45.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and not only translate the existing \Ncontent of the article, say, in English,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.52,0:04:50.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also add a line about the Ukrainian \Ntranslation of this person's works.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.81,0:04:53.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is actually a great pleasure --

Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.78,0:05:04.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it is definitely worthy:\Nif an author gets into Wikipedia

Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.92,0:05:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when it's available\Nto read in Ukrainian --
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.20,0:05:12.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's very pleasant, indeed.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.09,0:05:18.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a speculation that the English \Nlanguage will conquer the world.
