As Jeff Atwood told: "One thing I want to be clear about, though, is that duplication is not necessarily bad. Quite the contrary — some duplication is desirable. There’s often benefit to having multiple subtle variants of a question around, as people tend to ask and search using completely different words, and the better our coverage, the better odds people can find the answer they’re looking for." | |
| Jun 4, 2013 at 17:46 | comment | added | tomaitsu | There is a good policy in SO that question and answer should be useful not only for questioner and answerer but for anybody looking later at the topic. Based on that I think the best action is to compile and translate something useful from existing answers on SO if there are any. It is actually not a cross-site duplication because anwser in English does not answer question in Russian in general sense as there is at least a part of community that cannot understand it. | |
