I noticed that the Münzen & Medaillen, Deutschland,
auction now up on line, is provided in
French and English and, of course,
German, and since I downloaded the .pdf for English I'm sure you can download all three languages. As a stopgap for
numismatics this is useful. In much the same way, for
Bulgarian, to a certain extent, once you memorize the Cyrillic
alphabet (an overnight job), the coins listed in
Sear GIC are translated direct for listing in
Varbanov I-IV, and that is highly useful. There are other
German auction houses that post on the web in multiple languages, too.
I'm afraid there really are no short cuts, in this or any other learning, but a stopgap or two can be handy for the time being. The best investments I know of are to learn Latin and Greek properly and thoroughly, at least three or four years (high school) or semesters (college/university) of each. That may seem like a large investment, but it greatly facilitates learning the modern languages, and it gives you extra confidence in
writing your own.
