Why Duoka in HDive

I was asked why Двушка – a 2-room apartment or 2-kopeck coin – is translated as Duoka in HDive.

Duoka is a place, a dual universe, an alternative universe co-existing with the normal one, as indicated by duo. It has nothing to do with apartments or coins.

A New Tanya Translation

The English translation of Tanya Grotter and the Staff of the Magi is finally ready. This is the fifth book of the Tanya Grotter series and is available here. Tanya has left team Tibidox after the match with the Invisibles and the team suffers. But something else is happening that puts Tibidox in a state of siege. The Durnevs have acquired a werewolf relative who is making them very rich. Are these events connected somehow? And where does Tanya fit in?

The perils of auto-translation

"Imagine a far flung land where you can catch a ride from the Jackie Chan bus stop to a restaurant called Translate Server Error, and enjoy a hearty feast of children sandwiches and wife cake all washed down with some evil water.

If such a rich lunch gets stuck in your gnashers, you'll be pleased to know there are plenty of Methodists on hand to remove your teeth.

And if by this point you've had enough of the bus, fly home in style on a wide-boiled aircraft. But whatever you do, please remember that when you land at the airport, eating the carpet is strictly prohibited."
