They shamelessly copy and translate in to Russian everything from<br \/>\nour website. And I mean everything. The complete spoken text of the<br \/>\n&#8216;what the hack&#8217; bumpkey <a title=\"presentation\" href=\"http:\/\/connectmedia.waag.org\/toool\/whatthebump.wmv\">presentation<\/a> (two hours!) was translated in<br \/>\nRussian and <a title=\"russian pdf\" href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/images\/russian.pdf\">transcribed<\/a>. Pretty mind boggling to read your own words<br \/>\nin Russian. And I do not even read Russian! I\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0hope they did a better job then<br \/>\nripping our <a title=\"consumer reports\" href=\"http:\/\/toool.nl\/consumer-reports-nl.pdf\">&#8216;consumer reports&#8217; report<\/a> apart. Hours after the results<br \/>\ncame out it was translated in Russian and available on their site. We<br \/>\nnoticed it was not a one-on-one copy but a modified one. Instead of<br \/>\nthe 80 (or so) locks we tested, their list contained over 100 locks. Every<br \/>\nlock we did not open in the test they kindly &#8216;re-tested&#8217; for us and<br \/>\nmixed in some popular Russian brands as well. So instead of having an<br \/>\n80% success rate with our test their copy of the article had a 120%<br \/>\none. But still I believe their intentions are ok and they mean well.<\/p>\n<p>So far they have not translated my weblog yet.
