Hi Bill,

Ok, great. What was the problem?

It would absolutely count as prior art. Anything publically disclosed — even in different languages — before the priority date counts. The prosecution history will have Information Disclosure Statements (IDS) where prior art is considered. If your source was considered, it will be in one of the IDSs.
