True. Given the time frame this one would be a gamble, but it's certainly something to consider in the future. If you had the resources, I guess you'd want to have advance sight of the translation and some independent dual-language beta readers to call upon.

In this case, the magazine is a free download and it doesn't appear to be funded by paid subscribers. It's got a good pedigree and has produced over a hundred issues, the latest of which has 140 well-formatted, full colour pages.

That's certainly a consideration going forward, though.
