Here's a partial presentation of 1984 in several Eastern European languages. In addition to translating the first part of "1984" into these languages, this excerpted text is broken down for almost all of the languages by sentence with the English original standing below the translated version. This may be helpful for learning or comparative purposes.

There are sentence-by-sentence translations in: BCMS/Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian and Slovenian.

There's also a translation into Russian but it does not come in a translated version that's broken down into sentences as with the other languages.

Keep in mind that this site's value lies in having its translations of 1984 (albeit only for the first part) done for several lower-profile languages and broken them down sentence-by-sentence.

I'm sure that anyone can get a standard translation of the entire text without breaking the bank (or perhaps for free if one were into scouring the appropriate libraries).

I have a PDF of the entire 1984 in parallel columns (English on the left, and Czech on
the right). I have no idea what the copyright situation is, but assume it is legal for
such an old book. If anybody would like a copy please reply here and (if there is any
interest) I will put the file someplace it can be downloaded and then post the URL in
this thread.
