I can do this.
I love language nuances and clear explanations.
Possibly that would not be fast from my side but I believe this kind of
project doesn't have to reflect language changes immediately when it comes
to interpreter. Also a lot of time would spend on new content quality but I
believe when I ask for a help with not my native English language can
always find it.

At least I'm brave enough to pick up the gauntlet.

What do you say?
