tarancato isn't making any money from these comments, so it seems reasonable that they are not using some form of proofreader.

I am not bothered by their English or using a proof reader. I just think it's hypocritical to throw stones at people for not having good English when they don't operate in an English speaking market when yours isn't perfect either.

Also do you honestly think that was written by the business team, do you think the business team would have been able to properly edit a technical document in another language?

He's not throwing stones at people, he's throwing them at the company, WoSign. FWIW, I agree. They should have gotten (i.e. paid) someone to write a coherent document for this important communication.

Seriously you'll be hard press to find a paid translator that can translate technical documents.

Also the document is actually reasonable coherent. Picking on the language level of the document over the technical content of the document seems kind petty.

WoSign owns Israel-based CA StartCom (from the shady event where WoSign bought Startcom, didn't disclose it, and started issuing invalid certificates through StartCom). Both operate in multiple English language markets.
