I've also heard Russian a bit as there's a large population here, Chinese is not uncommon, heard some French and Portugese here and there.

Either that or online translations are actually becoming good at what they're supposed to do.
I use Google translator to translate from Russian to English, and not vice versa.
And Cyrillic is not a very complicated alphabet.
* There are letters that are written and sound as in Latin: K, E, A, O, M, T, C (sound always like S)
* There are letters that are written in Latin, but sound different: У sound like U, Н sound like N, Х sound like H, В sound like V, Р sound like R.
* There are letters that are missing in Latin. Ц sound like TS, Г sound G, Ш sound SH, Щ sound SHCH, З sound Z, Ф sound F, Ы sound Y, П sound P, Л sound L, Д sound D, Ж sound ZH, Э sound E, Я sound JA, Ч sound CH, И sound I, Б sound B, Ю sound JU.
Knowing this, you can easily read many inscriptions in Russian: фото - foto, Лондон - London, etc.
International words are easy to read; they are written like in English. More difficult are words with Slavic roots, they will be unusual for you, but they can be easily understood, for example, by Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs - they have the same roots of words, but the Latin alphabet.

Actually Serbian uses the Cyrillic alphabet either alongside the Latin alphabet or only using Cyrillic (can't remember which for certain).
