Yeah, translating someone else's words and claiming they're your own is still plagiarism IMO and I'm pretty sure that's considered plagiarism by bitcointalk standards as well.  Plagiarism doesn't just mean a straight-up copy/paste of someone else's work.

You'd think with all the effort that goes into actually finding some text that fits a reply, then translating it and pasting it into a reply on this forum that it'd be much less effort to just write a short shitpost, even if you can't write in English (or whatever language) that well.  Apparently not.  The lengths these plagiarists go to baffles me.
