Yep, and he got negged by Lauda. Thanks for that Lauda.

Bounty campaigns really need to be careful about this. Do your due diligence before accepting a user into your bounty campaign for translations or whatever. If he speaks Indonesian fluently then all of a sudden claim to be a native Jap speaker, he's probably lying.
None of my business, but Bitcointalk is the last place i'd be looking for reliable translators.   

    I only use Fiverr for stuff like that, however it can get expensive, for book-grade quality translation with sophisticated wordings from a native japanese professional translator, count at least 100$ for 2000 words.

I'm not Japanese but this seems like an open and shut case to me.

He's Indonesian, then he's Japanese. First alarm bell. Then, if you're correct about the quality of his work being horrendous, that would be another alarm going off. Even if he does know Japanese, his work is simply not of good enough quality.

Should be negged for this as well tbh.
