In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
I would value those particular cards more, about a 50% increase.
edit: hah! Guess that means I'm one of those guys that's the "right person" to buy. Would I pay $18 for a CHN Aether Vial? Sure... it would be awesome to have.
Sorry man, seems like Chinese ain't Japenese when we're talking in pimp factors.
I'd say about $1-$3 more than the English counterpart at most. Chinese darksteel had an extremely high print run, thus making those easier to obtain. At one point there were Chinese boxes of darksteel for $89 and English boxes for $129 on eBay. I know because I bought 6 of the Chinese ones

Still, that's not to say that some people won't value them much higher. You can probably BUY them for $0-5 more, but trade them at $0-20 more (at least for the Swords). I personally value everything except Japanese and maybe German the same as English.
They're staples, so I'd say the same value, or a bit more if people like to pimp. However, Japanese is usually the 'pimp' Asian language, since Simp Chinese looks ugly. Unless you have t-chinese, as iirc the t-chinese lasted till Darksteel, then skipped to M11.
In my experience, German is only more when referring to revised and Alliances. It's the least "English-looking" language available for that set. French and Italian can be mistaken from across a table, but German is definitely not. Once Japanese, Chinese, and Korean were available, there came a hierarchy of languages per se. Take duals for instance; German commands the highest premium, but when it's all said and done it's still a FBB dual
@DJRome: yes I'm absolutely certain I bought 6 but thanks for asking
You can definitely get more for the SoLS right now. The Vial is more stable and probably 10% higher at best. Chinese is general is the same or slightly more than English, as others have stated.

I couldn't find a single listing or completed auction on Ebay for either item.
My trading partner when I acquired them valued them same as English.
When I received the cards, I realized that they are amazingly cool and I thought they just had to be worth more than their English counterparts.
What say you, MTGS community?

I think it's cos the 'cool'-sounding names for some?

Korean holds the highest premium in asian languages though.
I don't see it as being as cool because they still use ABC's
