You might try feeding portions of
http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/L’Évolution_de_l’espace_et_du_temps
into Google Translate:
http://translate.google.com/transla...space_et_du_temps&sl=fr&tl=en&history_state0=

Of course you should verify the translation somehow.

You could also try to feed portions of

( http://books.google.com/books?printsec=titlepage&id=HB85AAAAMAAJ&output=text )
into Google Translate.

I am familiar with the works of Paul Langevin and Max von Laue in the field of physics and their contributions to the understanding of the concepts of space and time. While the article referenced in Wikipedia for Langevin's work is in French, there are English translations available for his book "L'evolution de l'espace et du temps" (The Evolution of Space and Time). These can be found in various online bookstores or libraries.

As for Max von Laue's book "Das Relativitatsprinzip" (The Relativity Principle), there are also English translations available. The 2nd edition, published in 1913, can be found in online bookstores or libraries. Additionally, there are many resources available online that discuss and explain the concepts presented in both of these works in English.

Overall, while the original works may be in French and German respectively, there are ample resources in English available for those interested in studying and understanding the contributions of Langevin and Laue to the field of physics.
