Can NLM provide the English version of a foreign language article?

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) interlibrary loan service does not provide translations of foreign language articles.

If the publisher provides the requested article only in a foreign language, NLM will send the foreign language article.

Please note that if the title of an article is enclosed in square brackets [ ] in PubMed, it is an indication that the article is in a foreign language.

In most instances, the PubMed citation indicates the language in which the article is available (see below).
