Greetings Colleagues:
Last month I e-mailed desperately for help in obtaining a list of
translation services. There were many responses as well as requests
for summaries of what I learned. My thanks for all your prompt
responses. My apologies for not getting a list together sooner. The
library is temporarily understaffed and is using a lot of its
resources helping approx. 20+ summer associates (they're nice
kids).
I contacted these translation businesses to verify that they are
still offering their services.
TRANSLATION SERVICES:
InterLingua
Los Angeles, CA
303-792-3636
Obtains documents of Pacific rim countries. The service can
translate Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Geolex Publishing Co.

countries; central European countries; the United Arab Emirates;

Aset/ICI

Very strong in obtaining English translations of legal documents
from East European countries and countries that belonged to the
Former USSR.
INTERNET:
I just have to believe that there are a lot of sources on Internet
that being a novice, I am not aware of. This was put together by
Elliot Chabot (echabot@hr.house.gov). I have not tried to access
any of these addresses:
One source for French/English translations of statutes is at gopher
site
gopher.droit.UMontreal.CA (port 70) 1/
Summaries of some Croatian laws can be found in English and Croat
at gopher site
rujan.srce.hr (port 70) 1
The Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany can be found in
English and German at
sparlast.phil15.uni-sb.de (port 70) 1/gopher-projekt/FR/Jura/
jur.internet/const
ForInt-Web
The URL is: http://192.104.1.208/web/washlaw/inex1.htm
This was announced on Law-Lib, June 21, 1994, and is a new foreign
and international law web server. Preferred client is MOSAIC or
LYNX. Information posted by Jay Su, Cataloging/Reference Librarian,
Washburn University zzsu@acc.wuacc.edu
Hope this information helps; as I mentioned earlier there are
probably a lot more sources somewhere on Internet. Meanwhile,
thanks for your patience!
