As a NES collector, I have a few games from different countries. Die Schlumpfe (Smurfs, German) and Asterix (French). I got both of these games complete, of course I cannot read the manuals. I photocopied both and took them into school with me.
I asked the German teacher if she would translate the Smurfs manual for me and she's like "sure." I did the same thing with the French teacher and Asterix and she agreed to translate that for me as well. Besides that, our French teacher though it was really cool how they made an Asterix NES game and she asked me a lot of information about it.
I haven't gotten the translations yet, though I soon'll have them. Just goes to show what can happen if you ask the right people. I felt a little dorky asking, especially since I took 3 years of Latin and never took French or German, but you never know what'll happen unless you ask.
