Most of the non-Chinese I know that have read Art of War don't fully understand it. Further, I've seen/heard discussions on the work go nowhere because all parties had not read the same translation. Of course, Your (Air) Mileage May Vary.

Except instruction manuals are not poetry - it's not difficult to translate them, and all of tech shares a common language (of math and engineering drawings) anyway.
