I got a comment to my recent "Classic Edition" post on peer review asking permission to translate the post into French, and put it on a French-language blog. Needless to say, I was kind of flattered that anybody would think it was worth that much work, so I agreed, and now it's appeared. Cool stuff.
I took four years of French in high school, and remember very little of it, but then I wrote the original article, so I can just about make sense of what it says. I can't assess the quality of the translation, but really, does it matter?
