I'll check WP:ECHO

I only speak a bit of all those languages, but WP:ECHO is always a good place to start, and then there's always Altavista's Babelfish. I've never used Wikisource before from my knowledge, but if I have any questions, i'll be sure to head over here. karmafist 01:12, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
