I've received requests to translate my stories in languages other than English, in which I draft my works.
At this time translations are NOT authorized for the following reasons:
-- English is my primary language; I am not prepared to do a thorough job of auditing translated works for their faithful duplication of the original work.
-- I am not prepared to audit the translators for performance if more than one request is made for a single non-English language.
-- Translators' work is voluntary and uncompensated, and therefore completely at the whim of the translator; I cannot assure that translation work will be completed fully and on a timely basis for readers of my work.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this causes my readers whose first language is not English.
Thank you for understanding.
