Yes, I do - German to English (UK) Dec 28, 2017

I often wonder whether, because the "language" of so many of the new FinTech products/companies is English, there's simply less ... See more

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I have a feeling that the vast majority of work in crypto translation is going to be EN>anything else. I'm interested to hear that there's at least some text flowing the other direction...
