Besides the languages you mention, I'm also aware of translation into
Gree, Russian and Chinese. Have a look at

http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/languages/searchtitle.cgi
and
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/languages/titles.cgi?work=or

(both in the experimental stage...)

As to where you can acquire them:

- German: I have seen copies in second-hand bookshops on several
occasions. It doesn't seem to be too rare. You might try your luck on
online antiquarian bookshops, or eBay.

- Russian: the Russian translation was published by Ladomir in Moscow,
around 1992. They published the complete works of JV in a couple of
series. Oncle Robinson is in vol. 2 of the first series, together with
Souvenirs d'Enfance et de Jeunesse and Maison a Vapeur. I got this
information from Dima Aksutin.

- Chinese: I seem to remember I found this title at an online bookshop.
Try Googling for the exact title as given on my site, you may be able to
find it...

For the other languages, I'm afraid I can be of no assistance.

Good luck!
Garmt.
