It is hard to find a talent that could be measured by his. I guess properly it would be: It is hard to find his equal. - but the first is closer to the Hungarian original and as many times I find that it is richer than the English I could come up with. I would appreciate=iate any comments.

"It is hard to find a talent that could be measured by his" does not not have a clear meaning to me. "It is hard to find his equal" makes sense.
