I'm translating it to portuguese right now. It will be very useful to our lusophone blogosphere too, in Brasil and elsewhere. What about editing the wikipedia entry about the Chittagong landslides, adding at least a sidenote about the blogger action in the incident. These facts have a lot of historical and socio-political significance. Congratulations. That’s a great post. I’m translating it to portuguese right now.
