There's also a French translation. It is bundled with a translation
of Nagel and Newman's _Goedel's Proof_ and published in 1989 with an
essay by J. Y. Girard. The bundling is ironic in view of what
happened to a similar proposal before Nagel and Newman was published.
(See Goedel, Collected Works, vols. IV and V, correspondences with
Allan Angoff, Wilson Follett, and Ernest Nagel.)
There is now a complete Italian translation of all of vols. I and II
of the Collected Works. Although I haven't checked this, it seems
probable that the translation of 1931 is new.
