Hello! I am Canis. My main aim is to translate the english Team Fortress 2 wiki into it's polish version. I find it a long and complex process, requiring patience and a great amount of time. Nevertheless, it is very beneficial and interesting as it enables me not only to enhance my skills but also to discover new words and expressions. What must be clearly stated is the following fact - that I always try to reflect the original idea of the author. I hope that such attitude will be appreciated by the wiki's community. However, I would also like to ask everyone who has means and time to make some suggestions to my translations as "two heads are always better than one".
