I know Greek well enough to translate much of the NT while reading aloud. 
Hebrew I don't know as well; I can parse it but don't know all the words. 
I've written some comments on Hebrew words in Song of Songs.

When I work on the translation, I have French, Spanish, and English 
translations to refer to (including a Jewish translation), Greek, Hebrew, and 
Strong's.

As to the extra books such as Maccabees, I have them only in the Douay version 
that's in CVS, so I'm probably not going to do much with them.
