Patterns in other languages

Is there a tip to being able to decypher them without having the ability to speak that tongue? I can only speak English, but there are so many Russian, Dutch etc patterns that I would dearly love to try.

What do you think? Is there a way?
Cheers!

Hi!
Trying to use a good online translator may be of good help and in case of crochet patterns , which usually includes charts is easier as theres less to traduce. There are good yarn stores which provides terminology in different languages as well . Always stay alert about any group that may pop up of your nationality that could be offering those patterns already traduced :)

I speak English and Portuguese, but I have done some amigurumi following russian and japanese patterns. The tip is pay attention to the amount of stiches and sometimes translate the words with google translate ^^"

I already speak French, English and Spanish fluently. Im learning other languages just because of the knitting patterns. :D
The only tip I have is that some languages have a distinct style of writing. You sort of have to decipher that to get going. Use google translate and also look up some terminology on the Drops web site. I still havent tried one  in Russian because they use the Cyrillic alphabet and it seems more difficult to me anyway.

Thank you so much everyone! I am going to add these to my "to-do" lists hehe. I need to find a few days where I have absolutely nothing on so I can just sit and concentrate to try work these out. Perhaps knowing which patterns come with a good amount of photographs will help also.

Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
