Well, both true for Korean. Most people interested in Tech News can read
English without being translated, and there's some difficulties about
translations... (Like, I had some discussions about word "Test wiki" with
one translator's talk page. It was about if "testwiki" means "Wikis to
test" or "[[testwiki:]],[[test2wiki:]] and [[testwikidata:]]".)
