No, I'm not. Paying 23$ for a one day access to an article is too much, esp. because of money transfer costs, which would be at the same level or higher Crying or Very sad

Hi Karina

I would suggest using the resources and members available at portals such as www.translatorscafe.com or proz.com. www.xing.com (langauge/translation groups) There are many members in the profession who may be willing to send you a copy or scan one for you.
Have you looked at wikiepedia or www.expatica.com they may also have forums that could help. Throw you net wider and you will catch the article (fish) you need.
