Resources in various languages on the Berzin Archives pages: http://www.berzinarchives.com/web/ar/index.html.
The intro says "primarily on the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions of Tibetan Buddhism," but if you want Arabic, Punjabi or Mongolian :o dharma you will probably be grateful for whatever's there.

None of the above, actually :embarassed: but when I come across links like these I trust the sources enough to pass them on.
Most Aussies are monolingual, which is okay at home but makes us look kinda limited when we go to Europe and find so many people are fluent in two languages and can get along in a couple more. Me? My English is excellent :tongue: and I can understand a fair bit of French and Italian if it's written down or the people speak reeaallly slowly. As for speaking them myself, I can buy food and drink ...

The Thanh Tịnh Đạo (Visuddhimagga) by Phật Âm (Buddhaghosa), translated into Vietnamese by Thích Nữ Trí Hải.
Rūpehi bhikkhave arūpā santatarā.
Arūpehi nirodho santataro ti.


“Bhikkhus, the formless is more peaceful than the form realms.
Cessation is more peaceful than the formless realms.”
(Santatarasutta, Iti 73)

Cross-posting from DWM -
kirtu wrote: There is a Dutch Buddhist Archive on Youtube! This is the St. Nederlands Boeddhistisch Archief.

Most (all?) of their videos come from the always excellent Boeddhistische Omroep Stichting (the Dutch Buddhist Broadcasting Foundation) which "terminated" their individual channel activity in 2015 ( :crying: ) but said they would continue broadcasting in mainstream Dutch media (which is great if one had access to Dutch media directly).

Several of these videos appear to be new (produced after 2015)!

However while most of the BOS videos did have English subtitles these do not appear to have them.

Kirt
Many of the videos are from mahayana but there's a fair spread of traditions - something for everyone.
