# Are mathematical translations on-topic?

Translating an Italian exercise precisely

It seems a little off-topic, but I wanted to ask here. The problem is it seems rather specialized, and requires a good deal of non-mathematical knowledge.

• Conversely, it does require some mathematical knowledge. I just grabbed some of the words and asked Google Translate, and got back "and $f: \Bbb C \to \Bbb C$ linear transformation and suppose that $f$ matrix associated to the base $\mathcal{B} = \{\ldots\}$ of domain and range ($e_i$ are carriers of the canonical base)" and for part d), "it is a basic calculations space zero linear application $f$." Probably any human would do a bit better than Google Translate, but that last part is absolutely worthless, when it should be talking about finding a basis for the null space. – pjs36 Feb 21 '16 at 3:56
• This has been asked in the past and the consensus was that translation requests are on-topic. – Git Gud Feb 21 '16 at 11:05
