ADBO has a nice Spanish section that I have used to curate a Spanish collection. Valerie Price can help you with selecting books.

Remnants of the International Children's Digital Library from the University of Maryland. It's not as user-friendly as it used to be since they ran out of funding, but you can still see the books.

I can usually find books in Spanish and Braille, but in any other language it has been difficult - especially Arabic.

I've used Colours of Us website several times to identify quality multicultural books. It focuses on African, Asian, and Hispanic, but includes a diverse list of other cultures. Many titles are English only. https://coloursofus.com/

I've used this site many times. Be aware, they do not review the quality of the title. They identify the category or culture of the title. Most books are in English only.

Love the focus on social justice, but bear in mind that not every book in your collection should be focused on justice. Having a character that does ordinary things and represents a culture is very important to your collection. https://socialjusticebooks.org/

Site focuses on translated works going into English from other cultures. https://worldkidlit.org/ This might give you a way to reverse and discover the native language title.
