Does anyone know which songs of Diana Ross solo/The Supremes were recorded in other languages, particularly anything from the Eaten Alive album? Are these recordings online? I'd appreciate any information.

I forgot to say I was referring to songs performed by other artists.

The Supremes recorded the Italian version of "You Can't Hurry Love" called "L'amore verra" in December 1966, which was covered by Italian pop singer, Nina Zilli, a few years ago.

If you talk about OTHER artists singing Diana Ross in foreign languages:

There is a Dutch version of Chain Reaction, called “Vreemd Verlangen” which means “Strange Desire.” The song is not a literal translation, although shares the semi-pornographic language of the original [[“You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
You taste a little then you swallow slower”). The Dutch chorus goes something like “I got caught in a strange desire, and subsequently got stuck to your fiddlestick” – which is particularly “naughty” as the late singer Benny Neyman was openly gay.

There is also a Dutch version of When You Tell Me That You Love Me
