Re: Copyright...

The likelihood of publishing a Canon is likely nil. My understanding is that the Estate would frown on any such effort and tends to dole out permission to even deal with JRRT's unpublished writings reluctantly.

Your effort, H-I might be different. As I understand it, Harper Collins now possesses the publication rights to the Hobbit. They may have an interest in a translation. However, they do not accept unsolicited or unrepresented submissions (see their website). You may want to contact an agent to submit a proposal for translation to Harper Collins and see if there is any interest.
