Peter,
 
No idea. There is a French edition by Francoise Seve (wife of the
philosopher). Although I helped her somewhat I don't guarantee its quality.
And there are several Russian editions which include his Hamlet thesis and
notes by Ivanov. Twice as long as the English MIT edition I'm afraid. Cf. my
own brief notes in chapter 2 of the (expensive) Continuum book.
 
Good luck!

I have no idea, Peter. That is the translation I have.
Perhaps Rene knows who they are/were.
