Problems with recommendation letters - International

Hi everyone, I need a bit of help with a particular common app prob.

I’m an international who’s gonna apply to the US, and the two teachers I’m ought to get my recommendation letters from don’t speak English, so basically two problems actually:

1. How do I get them to complete the common app thingie online or whatever they have to, and

2. Do I translate their stuff for them, or do I need to inquire an official translator to do it? Then, do I need to send both the translated and untranslated versions? How do I go about this?

I have to admit, the common app doesn’t make it very easy for internationals to do what they need to. Hopefully someone can help me out with these recommendation letter issues.
