Polish

Comments in AP’s Journals 1987-1989 suggest that a contract was signed for the translation of Dance into Polish. However, we have no further details.

Bulgarian

According to comments in AP’s Journals 1987-1989 (the entry for 17 February 1988) “… two of the three war volumes [of Dance] was going into Bulgarian …”. However, it is not known if this was ever completed and the translations published.
