Hi,
I've recently made some updates to my study guide for the Eddic poem
Hrafnagaldur Odins (Odin's Raven-Magic)
A complete study guide for the poem, including Texts, Translations, and
Scholarship can be found at:
http://www.germanicmythology.com/PoeticEdda/Hrafnagaldr%20Odins.html
In regard to the foreign language editions of the poem, I am actively
seeking English translations of the foreign translations in order to study
their findings. If you are able to help and provide a translation of one of
these foreign language translations of HRG, I'll post it on the site, with
your name. The purpose of such a translation is to see what scholars in
other languages are finding, and to compare with the English language
scholars. You'll find French, German, and Spanish translations, if you're
willing and able.
I have also created study guides for the poems:
Voluspa:

Grimnismal:
http://www.germanicmythology.com/PoeticEdda/Grimnismal.html
Thrymskvida:
http://www.germanicmythology.com/PoeticEdda/Thrymskvida.html
These are in various stages of completion. I intend to include full
commentaries to the poems in time. Currently, you will find most all the
available English translations, as well as foreign language translations of
the poems there, and photocopies of the manuscripts when available. I'm also
seeking previously published foreign language translations of these poems to
add to these guides. Should you send me one, I will credit you on-site (if
you chose) as the donor/transcriber of the poem.
You'll also find a longer version of the poem Baldrs draumr, preserved in
later paper manuscripts at:

And the low-down on the imitation Gunnarsslaggr:

As always, your feedback is welcome. If you like the site, please consider
donating whatever you can (time, materials, etc). For monetary
contributions, you'll find a link in the lower right hand column of the
site. Thank you for your support.
Wassail, William
