Here is a general strategy for finding translations. The order of the steps may vary depending on the year of the article.

1. Determine if the journal was translated "cover-to-cover"
2. If the article is before 1987, search for it as a single translation in CITE or Translations Register Index.
3. Try NTIS or NTRL (at top of Starting Points box to right)
4. If the article is 1940-1950s, try BSIR and Catalog of Technical Reports/OTS
5. Check in subject indexes to translations.
6. Search in a JPRS or Transdex source (at bottom of Starting Points box to right)
