Some articles on RG are written in languages apart from English, some are even shared personally with me but can't understand the language. Google would have been the best for the conversion but the local languages are not known in the first place. How can we solve this problem on RG?
Concerning scientific works, I am warning against the use of automated translations. Authors should always try themselves to include and provide a bi-lingual essay or summary, to avoid mis-receptions. The more distant the grammar of the respective scientific text is from English in automatic translations, the 'funnier' are the results; not to speak about the script used.

Do not use google translate if you don't want to look funny. The translation does not exist on RG, but you can always ask the autbor to provide a summary or key findings in Englosh. Most are willing to help.
Thanks to all my respected RG colleagues but do we now say such articles are less advantageous in reading, citation and so on?
Language remains a barrier, also in science; more mathematical thought, logic and precise methodology is needed.
You can upload the paper with orginal language and add the title witb abstract in English
I asked and shared this question because a colleague always share me an article in a language I don't understand. I can't comment, I can't recommend and I always feel guilty of neglegence. I don't know what to do.
