I'll take care of Russian and Eastern Slavic languages (Cyrillic based). Can also read arabic characters, but no language skills there.

Spanish and Catalan, from almost all times, and English.
In an emergency, I could make myself understood in French, Italian and Portugese, but not much beyond the always useful "Don't shoot please!". Have good friends native Italian and French speakers, though.

Bulgarian, which is a very rare language on ethnographic weapons, but it is the only one I feel comfortable enough reading and translating. Of course, I can read everything in Cyrillic, but Russian and Serbo-Croatian would be better left for someone else to translate and I can help only if there is nobody else around.

Some Spanish, German, French, classical Greek, Biblical Hebrew once, American Sign Language (not much used on sword inscriptions however - not sure why? ).

I'm of no help personally, but due to the heavy Greek origins of the Tarpon Springs area I have many aquaintences who are usually happy to translate for me.
