Some kind of review and history behind the translation: http://www.cptoday.cn/news/detail/3155.

The principal translator is Archer, to whom I owe so much. He was extremely meticulous (in good sense) and reported most of known mistakes and bugs, which is very important to literature like this book. I'll recommend his services to any other author. While reading, please thank him for his hard work.

Guys from Antiy Labs has also helped with translation. Here is preface written by them.
