Thanks for your reply! Yes, I have a feeling that the vast majority of work in crypto translation is going to be EN>anything else. I'm interested to hear that there's at least some text flowing the other direction...

I recently looked up a definition of "money" and still haven't got my head round it. Never mind "currency", crypto or otherwise.
