Prof. Dr. Yulia Griber from Smolensk State University is currently with us, a linguist and cultural Heritage scientist who translated our Ewaglos ((European Illustrated Glossary of Conservation Terms for Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces) 2016 into Russian with a team:
- Financed by the Russian Federation, she is now able to print her translation together with the English terms and pass on the 300 copies to colleagues in and outside Russia free of charge. If you would like a copy, please contact us.
- Supported by the German Academic Exchange Service, she is also conducting research on the subject: Russian Conservation History as a Part of the Cultural History of Europe: Terms for Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces in Cross-Cultural Understanding
In December 2018 a Russian translation was completed. It is supplemented with the German text and was compiled by Professor Dr. Yulia Griber of the Smolensk State University (Russia), together with six colleagues.
A total of 14 experts from four universities have worked for this translation under the direction of Prof. Dr. Takeshi Ishizaki from the Tohoku University of Art and Design, Institute for Conservation of Cultural Property (and ICOMOS).

Most corrections concern typing errors, punctuations and hyphenations. More extensive changes affect only the French index, some Bulgarian translations, the synonyms as well as the „not to be confused with”-terms.
Meanwhile, we have colleagues who are working on an Arabic and Russian and Mandarin translation and we have a translation offer from Slovakia, too.
