I prefer the idea of citing it as a source, in the references section.
That's doubly wrong. Firstly, a "source" or "reference" is where you get facts from, not the text (so it doesn't satisfy the history requirement). Secondly, if you're going to "reference" an article in another language, you might as well "reference" the article itself, which is kind of duh.
