<p>Has somebody translated J.-P. Serre's "Faisceaux algébriques cohérents" into English? At least part of it?</p>
<p>In a fit of enthusiasm, I started translating it and started TeXing. But after section 8, I got tired and stopped.</p>
<p>However if somebody else already took the trouble, I would be most grateful. I do not know a word of French(except maybe faisceau), and forgot whatever I learned in the process of translation very quickly.</p>
<p>This is made community wiki, as I do not want to get into rep issues. Please feel free to close this if you think this qn is inappropriate for MO(I have added my own vote for closing, in case this helps). I would be happy to receive answers in comments.</p>

He probably knows if there is a FAC translation, but he is not on MO. You can try email him. </p>

I didn't have so much time to proofread it, so probably there are some mistakes.</p>
