Where exactly is this blog that would contain the translation? Searching the web does reveal some pages translated by this person (or others using the same phone number sending the same email to lots of mailing lists) but not on a single blog or website, instead hosted in various generic web hosting places, webhostinghub dot com, webhostinggeeks dot com, webhostingrating dot com. If I was in the business of creating link farms I would create dozens of pages on different domains and get prominent websites such as open source projects to provide links to them, then once I had those pages in place I'd switch the content for whatever product I wanted to sell. But maybe I'm just too suspicious and being unfair.
