I was curious so went to the backrooms hellhole that is the Talk tab and they said it's trusted English source for the translation has it copyrighted. And even if you pull the literal symbols off of the images in the article and put them together, they can't use the transcription/translation because they need it to come from a published expert on the matter.

Surely there must be an academic source that's freely available? Hasn't this thing been known for a long time?
