Hi Ed

the Farsi translation of "How Bypass Internet Censorship" is fully
available here:
http://fa.flossmanuals.net/CircumventionTools/Introduction
as well as on the Sesawe website:

For Iranian circumvention tools users, Sesawe also proposes support by
mail at english at sesawe.net and farsi at sesawe.net.

There is also a translation in Russian available here

and here

Chinese and Arabic translations are on their way.

Yours,
