Polyglot Paleontologist

Matthew Carrano, a Postdoctoral Associate in Anatomy at SUNY-Stonybrook, has created this site as a "sort of clearinghouse for English translations of non-English paleontological papers. It serves as a central point where people may download existing translations, add their own translations to the database, and post requests." The site includes over 100 papers. So far the focus is on vertebrate paleontology, but Carrano plans to expand to other areas of paleontology if the interest arises. Some examples of papers available include a translation from Chinese of "Zhejiangopterus linhaiensis (Pterosauria) from the Upper Cretaceous of Linhai, Zhejiang, China" (Vertebrata PalAsiatica 32(3):181-194) and a translation from German of "On a new fossil lizard from Lesina" (Abhandlungen der k. k. geologischen Reichsanstalt 5(4):75-90). Translations from French, Russian, Spanish, and other languages are also available. The texts are in Word format. A non-mandatory sign-in page takes readers to the archives. This important resource for paleontologists provides articles and species descriptions formerly inaccessible to English speakers.
