It would interesting to know how long it took for this editing to reach other countries and translations.

I'm not an expert on translations by any means, but my understanding is that in some situations book publishers are given a certain edition to work from and that is the only one they may translate from. I have no way of knowing if this is the case for LotR, but if it is narfforc corrections may not make it in to the foreign editions at all. Knowing how picky J.R.R. was about his work I doubt that he would keep anybody from making corrections, though.
