personal comments: In the German Issue of Wikipedia he has
understood 57 languages and 12 of them he has spoken. In the french issue
you can read following words: Il
était capable de traduire les ouvrages en 117 langues et 72 dialectes
= He was able to translate the work into 117 languages and 72 dialects.
The Italian issue: ...
si diceva parlasse fluentemente 38 lingue e 50 dialetti. = He
spoke 38 languages and 50 dialects fluently - and the Russian issue
= что
он владеет 38
языками и 50
