If it is in other language, that would be called translations, not the Qur'an.
you can read translations and tafsir but they are not qur'an, and you should make effort to learn to read qur'an or memorise a few short surahs and al fatihah because you need to recite fathiha in your shalah.
I myself do not speak or understand arabic, and I didnt know how to recite qur'an (I learnt when I was a kid, but after so many years of not practicing, I totally forgot how) until two years ago when I started to learn all over again, and alhamdulillaah I am abe to recite now.
But I still dont know the meaning, so I would recite pages of quran at one time and then read the translation alongside the verses.
I am still trying to learn arabic, however.
So again, it is not impossible, you just need to set aside an hour or two to learn everyday, but the rewards will be unimaginably large, as promised by Allah in the qur'an.
