Both Victor and Columbia issued such leaflets and booklets for their  
various Ethnic series. 

Spanish, Mexican, German, French, Italian, Czech, Polish, Russian, 
Ukrainian, Slovak, Arabian-Syrian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Finnish, 
Swedish, Hebrew-Jewish, Dutch, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, 
Portuguese, Roumanian (sic), Swiss, Welsh, Irish, Greek, Turkish.  

Columbia also had a little 'International' catalog (like 8 pages) for 
Christmas, all records in their E-xxxx series. 

Victor published in 1940 a 48 page booklet for their "International Records ("V" Series) - 
Complete Alphabetical Catalogue (sic) of all languages". "Victor Spanish records 
are not included in this Catalogue", but "Included is a list of the latest 
Greek and Turkish Orthophonic Label Records of the "S" Series".
