You know, you might be right. I'm sorry. I didn't think of that.
I've tried to read the books in Hebrew (I'm bilingual) but the translations were sooo horrible that I didn't bother anymore. I just stick to the English (plus I'm something of a purist so I prefer reading in the original). But yeah, I guess those who are used to reading in their native tongues but are on LJ/can read English well enough for chatting purposes... good point.
It would be so nice if the translated versions could be released at the same date as the originals. I guess that would just be too risky with confidentiality.
