Chinese Translation

Jame Tong, a DBA from China, has asked if he can translate existing articles of mine into Chinese and publish them on his blog. I think it’s a good idea and have given him permission, so he will be sending me an email with a URL whenever he finds time to translate a piece, and I’ll let everyone know about it.

This is a catalogue of the articles he has published to date – he’s started with a few of my older articles rather than recent blog items. The highlighted links are to his translations, and each a reference back to the original English.
