Sorry, like you I have no idea how to find "unfindable" papers written in foreign languages. Yet another factor may be a growing reluctance among students and/or their professors to release papers to a wider audience. I don't think many research students are convinced that the publication of their paper could be beneficial for their employment prospects in the short- or long term, especially when we as a community tend to slam any and all research in the typical pedantic wiki way.
