It's a well known fact that he collected the translations of his work and was very autistic about them, the first spanish translation of The Hobbit made him seethe.
This is from Carpenter's biography: "The shelves are crammed with dictionaries, works on etymology and philology, and editions of texts in many languages, predominant among which are Old and Middle English and Old Norse; but there is also a section devoted to translations of The Lord of the Rings into Polish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Japanese; and the map of his invented ‘Middle-earth’ is pinned to the window-ledge.

His little guide for translators is great.

Basically you are Gollum and you've been corrupted by the Ring (globohomo). In order to redeem yourself you need to jump into Mount Doom (suicide, I would recommend gunshot to the head, too many people survive overdoses).
