Today, two groups of readers wrote to me to report that they’d translated my story “Scroogled” into other languages: Russian and Persian, to be precise. “Scroogled” appeared last month in Radar Magazine, a commissioned short story that tells the story of “the day Google became evil.” The story was published under a Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial- ShareAlike license (the first time Radar used a CC license) and it has already inspired translation into French and Spanish.
The Russian translation was undertaken by Ruslan Grokhovetskiy along with “about a dozen” of his friends, and they also whipped up this fan-art poster (also in English and Photoshop source-file) for their translation.
The Persian translation is from Jadi, who hopes that the Persian edition will be enjoyed by “Iranian, Tajik and Afghan audiences.”
