Translation registry

藏文佛典英译登记表

4,510 Tibetan Buddhist texts in the 84000 catalogue, graded here by the translation body actually published for each one. Translator and year are recorded where the source publishes them.

This distinction matters: an entry in the catalogue is not a translation. 84000 lists a stub for every canonical text it intends to translate, so counting catalogue entries overstates coverage several-fold. The status column below reflects the published text, not the intention.

Of the 3,906 untranslated entries, 3,871 have a known extent: 156,254 pecha pages. Excluding the 550 texts already in 84000's own editorial pipeline, the remaining 3,356 texts are 124,318 pages.

Coverage of our own corpus

Of the 552 Tibetan religious works we hold, the registry can decide the English status of 64:

• 64 translated
• 488 unknown

Where the status reads unknown, that is the finding, not a gap in this page: those works carry no catalogue number in our data (the BDRC eText volumes are graded by volume, not by text), so no registry lookup is possible. They are candidates for catalogue work before translation.
