Translations done specially for this site

Monday 1 January 2018, by Ray

All of the translations into English on this site are of texts free of copyright in the USA, Great Britain, Europe and elsewhere.

As translations are themselves subject to the 70-year rule – an author’s works are free of copyright 70 years after the last day of the year of their death – we have undertaken ourselves 231 translations of French, German and Russian texts [1] to enable them to be available on this site in on-line and e-book formats for English-language readers everywhere [2]:



The detailed lists of the transactions done specifically for this site can be seen at: English is a wordy language.
