"Da Xue" (Great Learning) and the "Four Books " have already been translated into many languages many years ago.
There are many versions of translations by different translators.
(no less than 100 versions -- I am sure, I go to the library to read them all the time)
A famous translator is a famous Poet -- Ezra Pound.
Many of the translators are world famous scholars.
Many Chinese classical texts are translated into English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish etc. including:
I Qing
Internnal Medicine of the Yellow Emperor (Hua Di Ne Jing)
Most of the Buddist texts.
Some of the ancient Daoist Texts.
Most of the Tibetan Buddist texts.
Dao De Jing
Wu Zhen Pian (The article to understand the truth - a Daoist classic)
Most of the Confucius texts (Kong Tse, Meng Tse...etc.)
Most of the teaching materials in Traditional Chinese Medicine/ acupuncture. (for certified examinations as a TCM doctor)
Many famous Qigong practices.
Most of the books by Nam Hui Jin
Also all the famous Chinese fictions, poems, etc. (Xi You Ji, Dream of Red Chambers) etc.
A lot of methods and theories on qigong, martial arts (Kung Fung), meditations, Zen, etc.
And much more. You can find almost any book you want in English (or other languages) translation.
There are a lot of famous universities set up Asian Center, Asian Studies, Chinese Studies, Buddist Studies, etc. with extremely big library full of Chinese ancient books, Oriental languages books, and English translations.
Some universities have a very large collection that is amazing.
(e.g. Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University etc.)
Famous teachers of almost any subject are always invited to give talks, classes, and seminars.
Haha....I always sleep inside these libraries and buried by the books.
Well, if "Monk Tang" could go to India to collect Buddist texts and translated every single word from Indian language into Chinese so long ago, why can't we translate easily into many languages.
I read both Chinese and English version of all the books that I mentioned above. I also read ancient texts of both languages.
Don't worry, language is not a problem
