There was a translation that caused Tolkien to write a guide to translating the Lord of the Rings - it’s worth reading to get a feel for what he wanted.

Of course Tolkien was a linguist so he could understand translation difficulties even in languages he didn’t speak. He went so far as to add fictional translation difficulties to his own story.
