Why Baudelaire Can't Be Found on the Authors List

Why Baudelaire Can't Be Found on the Authors List? Baudelaire is one of my favorite poets, also one of the greatest poets in the history. I read his poems almost everyday.Here is the link of Baudelaire' Flowers of Evil, http://fleursdumal.org/ .Hope you will like it too.

Because it seems there aren't any public domain English translations of his works

Technically wise (the space used and such), the board cann't create a group of artists to have their works in the other languages but english? In poetry it may be interesting to see the work in the original language after all, it even may help to create threads with those authors and a few members may start to translate one or another poem for the english only readers and the forum itself would with time develop a nice database ?

I love Baudelaire's poetry too (well, most of his poems anyways) but all the official translations that I've read so far don't measure up to the original .
