I speak pretty fair French, but don't write it too well. I only know a little bit of German, and Spanish, and neither speak nor read Russian, but some bicycle fans have kindly translated some of my articles into their languages.
Some of these translations are old, and the original articles have been revised and updated since. A few of the Russian articles are now only available on the Internet Archive site, without the illustrations, and so you will have to open the English version to see them.
Google translation, for what it's worth, is available for revised versions, other articles and other languages.

If you would like to translate any of my articles into other languages for use on a non-commercial website, you're welcome to do so, as long as you provide credit and a link to my site, and let me know about it so I can place a link on my own site.
I will require that you give permission for me to use your translation on this site as well. I do this so that if the external site disappears sometime in the future I can keep the translation on line by putting up a local copy.
