Translation Question

[J.W.]

Ottawa (Canada), Saturday 13/11/04 9h20 EST

As far as I can tell, there is no difference between "pjata grafa" and
"pjataja kolonna", both of which translated to "fifth column" in
English.

For questions dealing specifically with Russian translation I strongly
recommend joining the Yahoo group "RUSLANTRA" (RUSsian LANguage
TRAnslation).  Dozens of queries and replies are posted every day.  That
is how I just received a confirmation of my guess on "pjata grafa".  To
sign up, go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ruslantra/

Another valuable source of such information is
http://www.multitran.ru/
which has a forum where one may ask similar questions about any
translations not in the database.
