Shortly before World War II, Lazarus Goldschmidt completed his translation of the Gemara into German in London after he fled from Germany in 1933.
This first translation of the whole Gemara into any European language was criticized by Rav Dovid Tzvi Hoffman, head of the Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin, gaavad of the Adass Yisroel congregation in Berlin, and, toward the end of his life, the supreme posek of German Jewry.
After 90 years of obscurity, the translation has been made available by Sefaria, a website dedicated to the online dissemination of Jewish texts.

the internet is assur. So how can someone learn Torah over the internet?
It would be interesting to see the Japan Gemara. As is known, in Japan, Gemara is part of their educational curriculum for men, women and children – non Jews. I remember an article of a Japanese guest in Israel whose main visit was to the Mirer Yeshiva in Yerushalayim. A photo was included of a man peaking in and watching how they’re learning. Amazing! What a kiddush Hashem!
