It'd be especially pleasing to see a Chinese translation; I majored in Chinese in college, and spent some time living there (Kunming, Yunnan) in the mid-1990s. So just let me know what I can do to help, I'm at your service. Thanks also for the nice comments on the book, Jon -- it's particularly comforting when a fellow open source developer thinks that it wasn't completely bunk.
