Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels was considered polyglots. When discussing organizational issues of the Geneva Congress of the International Workingmen's Association, Marx told Johann Philipp Becker in 1866 that "the General Secretary must know more than one language." Attended by sixty delegates from Britain, France, Germany, and Switzerland, the congress needed a chairman who could "speak the various languages, simply to save time." In the early 1870s, Engels was preoccupied, personally as well as organizationally, with addressing some language-related issues in the correspondence of the association. From the late 1860s onward, Engels returned to translations of theoretically sophisticated texts. The English and French translations of Marx's Capital were on Engels's schedule.
