Reference request: English translation of Brieskorn 1970 paper Is there any english (or french) translation of the following paper by Brieskorn (1970)?
Brieskorn, E., "Die Monodromie der Isolierten Singularitäten von Hyperflächen", Manuscripta Mathematica 2 (1970).
Thank you.
 A: Zentralblatt lists a translation in Russian [published in Matematika, Moskva 15, No.4, 130-160 (1971)], but that's all. I also checked the Brieskorn Anniversary Volume, which lists his complete works, and again only the Russian translation appears.

As suggested by @aginensky, here is how Google translates the introduction of the Brieskorn paper from German into English. I give the translation without any post processing, directly as it comes out of the Google translator. It seems like a viable road.

John Milnor has shown in [29] that can be topologically define a local
  Picard-Lefschetz monodromy for singularities of hypersurfaces and
  isolated that this monodromy up to a certain extent determines the
  topology of the singularity. On the other hand there is the
  Picard-Lefschetz monodromy of families of singular algebraic manifolds
  investigations of A. Borel, C.H. Clemens [5] Ph.A. Griffiths [12],
  [13], [14], A. Grothendieck [16], N.M. Katz [20], [21], A. Landman
  [22] and F. Pham [31], which the classical results of Picard [32] and
  Lefschetz [24] generalize. In particular, by Grothendieck and others
  for this purpose an algebraic theory was developed, the theory of
  Gauss-Manin connection. While this theory, however, families of
  manifolds without singularities presupposes one-parameter families of
  manifolds with singularities are examined in this paper, it is
  introduced a singular local Gauass-Manin connectivity for isolated
  singularities of hypersurfaces. This provides a purely algebraic
  calculation of the originally defined topologically local
  Picard-Lefschetz monodromy. The restriction to the special case of
  isolated singularities of hypersurfaces the theory is very simple and
  explicit.

and here is the French translation

John Milnor a montré dans [29] qui peut être définie topologiquement
  un monodromie locale Picard-Lefschetz de singularités des
  hypersurfaces isolé et que cette monodromie jusqu'à une certaine
  mesure détermine la topologie de la singularité. D'autre part, il ya
  la monodromie Picard-Lefschetz des familles de singulières collecteurs
  algébriques enquêtes de A. Borel, C.H. Clemens [5] Ph.A. Griffiths
  [12], [13], [14], A. Grothendieck [16], N.M. Katz [20], [21], A.
  Landman [22] et F. Pham [31], dont les résultats classiques de Picard
  [32] et Lefschetz [24] généraliser. En particulier, par Grothendieck
  et d'autres à cet effet une théorie algébrique a été développé, la
  théorie de la connexion de Gauss-Manin. Bien que cette théorie,
  cependant, les familles des collecteurs sans singularités suppose
  familles à un paramètre de collecteurs avec singularités sont
  examinées dans le présent document, il est introduit une connectivité
  locale singulière Gauass-Manin pour les singularités isolées de
  hypersurfaces. Cela fournit un calcul purement algébrique de la
  monodromie Picard-Lefschetz topologiquement locale défini à l'origine.
  La restriction au cas particulier des singularités isolées de
  hypersurfaces la théorie est très simple et explicite.
