Although his earlier Russian writings are probably almost untranslatable. What he did with the Russian language was and still is unparalleled.

Not sure if you've read it, but I'd be interested in your take on Sebald's Rings of Saturn comparing the German and English versions to one another, having only read (and loved) the English version. He was central in the translation which should make that pretty good. Honestly, reviewing translations would be a top notch journal or thread idea if you were up to taking the time out for it.
