There's a trick one can use, as well, right here on GoodReads. If you go to a book's entry and click "all editions", that will include most foreign language editions. This help's one find the translated title (because sometimes it's really, really different), and then it's easier to search on appropriate book seller's sites. Googling the translated title will also bring up book seller's sites that one might not already know, which is also handy.
Thank you! I managed to find them in Russian from the site Ozon.Ru I have ordered all the Vorkosigan books I could.
Funny how you mentioned Croatian because I read once a copy of Winterfell Gift's that was translated into Croatian then translated back to english which I found to be the oddest thing.
I'm vastly curious about the relative sizes of these markets. (in terms of who reads SF and who doesn't). Any chance you would be willing to share say orders-of-magnitude of sales in different languages?
There are also:
Serbian (which is treated as separate from Croatian)
Romanian
And indeed for Chinese one does both:
Simplifed = China
Traditional = Taiwan
I've put the set onto the vorkosigan wikia with links to further info and pics:

Also, you can go to isfdb.org and search by author. They're probably the best and largest site for accuracy overall (I did a lot of the Bujold works, it was much harder than the wikia work was.)
Goodreads has many problems (typos and a few mistaken covers). I keep wondering if I should try to join them to fix it up
