Hello, dear Mark!

Can we (I and my friends) translate into Russian and publish this
index http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/ at some web-site? We are
very like of your work and if we publish it, as it seems, we obtain a
new very good anticreationist source. There is not so detailed
analysis of creationist claims at Russian Internet.

Sorry for my poor English.

Best regards.

I think that's a great idea. I've often thought about translating it
into French (if something hasn't been done already...) but I'm too lazy.

I've even met some Japanese creationists so I thought it would be great
to translate it into Japanese but I don't speak it well enough.

Excuses, excuses.

Unfortunately, I don't know neither French, nor Japanese.

Now it has been translated into Russian nearly 200 responses to claims
(from http://evolutionwiki.org/wiki/List_of_creationist_arguments and
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/ ) and this work is going on.

Do you know are there another languages into that these claims has
been translated?

I already answered in email. (Briefly: Fine with me, but ABC-CLIO gets a
say, too.)

Thank you. The request has been sent.

And I want to define more exactly one thing. Is a license CC-BY-SA 3.0
(see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ ), that maintained
at RationalWiki (see http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/RationalWiki:Copyrights
) is OK for you or it is not?

Thank you for correction of this curious mistake.

Best regards.

Ok. So, as it seems for me, there are two ways for us:

1) we will modify the responses into retellings with adding some
original information (e.g., from Russian sources) as in evowiki in
short time;
2) we will modify our license for this responses.

Best regards.
