Preface: To Wider Literature
Preface
A literal translation of English to other languages that assists in learning English (not the other language), prepared with the aid of Chinese Star programs, Sun Tendy USA and some other internet based translation programs.
The cooperation and patience of native speakers of the other languages is gratefully acknowledged. Thanks especially to our friend Yoki for translations in Indonesian.
