Pretty interesting path of de-globalization.

With my keyboard & knowledge I can't do anything with the non-Latin code.

I can't remember it for a second, or try to communicate about it verbally.

The English transcript gives you the fighting chance to figure.

Your decision to never hire expats or call in consultants from, say, Sweden, ever, would be final.
