Translation thread


What would you think about a thread where people post chemistry articles & things in other languages and other people could (cooperateively) help translate them into English (or perhaps another language)?

E.g. I would really like an English translation of the German article "Geschichte der Erfindung des Phosphors - Leibniz (1784)" ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/8et55kq80lujalp/Geschichte_der_Erf... ) which describes the discovery of elemental phosphorus and (I think) its extraction from urine and the Japanese patent #99664 ( https://web.archive.org/web/20230331043237if_/https://www.j-... ) which is the first description of what we would now call universal pH paper.

But I don't speak German or Japanese.

I think it would be pretty cool if we had a thread where someone could request translations of articles and others could (if they want) translate the articles for fun/to help out.

What do you think?

We have such a thread already, in the References sub forum. I have now given you access!
