Yes, technical books are crap without good translators. Of all the 
technical books I've read more that a few pages, only one was in my 
native language. It was about C++, and the translation was awful, 
especially at a few key phrases. It was still good to get an intro to 
the language (that's how I first learned about C actually), but later on 
(especially when I got into college, when book choice was greater), I 
would avoid any technical books not in English. I would do that even if 
the translation was great, I just much rather think and understand about 
computer technical subject in English.
I actually would hope more people would do the same, but that's a 
personal ideology, so to speak.
