Is there an English translation of G.Laumon, L.Moret-Bailly book Champs algébriques.

Most questions on this site on stacks received this book as reference in comments/answers.

So, I want to ask if there is an English translation for this. Or, are there any seminar pages (in English) where material in that book is discussed?

Edit : Has anything changed in last 15 months? Any information regarding possible translation of the book?

    $\begingroup$ You can be quite certain that there is none, because it is Springer copyrighted and they have not translated it: On their web site it says "A 'must' for every library and for all algebraic geometers, even if their knowledge of French is only basic". $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You feed the French into your favorite translation website, and look for a similar result in the Stacks project (or some other reference on stacks). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The book has been out for a long time. There is no incentive to translate it, for the publisher. I don't envisage the situation changing. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @DavidRoberts I feel the same.. Are you aware of any seminar pages that use this book.. It is slightly frustrating when some one says some book is too good and I don't get to read it or know what is there in it... $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Not that I know of. I would just search online for it, and don't have any special tricks that I can tell you of. $\endgroup$
