Alas, no. There are partial translations of the review in the Knabb
anthology, and I think Spud (of the nothingness.org archive) has ben doing
a little translating. But much of the review remains largely untranslated. 

There was a rumor that an english translation of Potlatch was in the
works, along with a collection of Situationist Bauhaus material, but so
far those remain rumors. 

BTW, there is a situationist mailing list, run by spud, and so far quite
quiet. To subscribe, send email to situationist-AT-nothingness.org with the
word "subscribe" in the SUBJECT line, and a blank message body. I suspect
that, among other things, that might be a good place to talk about
translation and etext-archiving issues. 

Speaking of which, I ought to have an etext version of Knabb's
"Realization & Suppression of Religion," which Pierre mentioned recently,
online soon, and will post the URL when it's done.
