Hi Caroline
Devon County Council Library and Information Services have an extensive list of library guides in different languages. I believe that they approached members of the public in the Community to do the work, or University students studying the language who wanted work experience on their CVs.
Have a look at this link to see what was produced.

I believe that the member of staff responsible for co-ordinating this was Anne Howard of Devon Libraries.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes

Subject: Library handouts for ESOL students.
Hi,
At the moment we are in the process of investigating whether or not our
library handouts should be duplicated in different languages for the
ESOL students. We have hit a bit of a barrier in terms of finding
someone who will carry out the translation at a reasonable cost.
Would it be possible for you to let me know if any of your library
guides are produced in other languages and if so how you did it?
Many thanks,
Caroline Rushton
