User:Delirium/Translations

Sometimes I translate (or adapt) articles from other languages, using a combination of poor but improving reading skills, machine translators, and translation dictionaries. I've been mainly translating things from an old German encyclopedia, the Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, and from the German Wikipedia, since each has large numbers of articles the English Wikipedia is still lacking, especially on topics relating to German-speaking countries (unsurprisingly).
