While you are thinking about the history, maybe you can spare a dime to help recording one?
I will post the link to the Indiegogo project in the first comment to this post.
Thank you.

We are frequently asked the question "Which language is this document". How to deal with this? There are several options:
- you can try typing a few sentences into Google Translate and see what the artificial intelligence will tell you. In many cases it just works;
- if it isn't -- we have several reference books at our web site, which are devoted exactly to answering this question. Works in difficult cases.
- When it comes to the handwriting, those approaches aren't always work, so please write us and we will gladly help you.

What language is the attached image, by the way?

I have recently received this "thank you" note from the small French maker of paper notebooks. The whole idea feels very close to me, I just never articulated it this way.

I think next year I will love with this idea high on my mind.

And I hope you will get some inspiration for this coming year too.

P.S. Thanks to for this

This document was easy to translate, but it provided the grim picture of life of "Ostarbeiters" (eastern workers) in WW2 Germany ... Although the "workers" were not prisoners, the document issued to them (here is a sample), says in German and Russian, in the bold frame above the photo and tumbprints:
Owner is only entitled to leave the accommodation for the purpose of working.

Sometimes we are asked not to translate, but to read the text. When it is the document from 1750s even the reading becomes a challenge. We do it a lot, in different languages...

This is another page of reasonably uncomplicated Russian language handwriting, 1833 census sheet, which we helped to translate recently.

We were unable to translate the complicated Hebrew-Aramaic marriage record submitted by the client. Refunded the price in full with our regrets. Looking for more challenges. Could it be yours???

We have just posted the actual translated document, the way how you will get it. It is usually PDF, but FB does not let us post the file on the page. In the "Photos" section of the page.
