I'm obviously not as good at recognizing these terms as a native
speaker would be. I wonder how much of a language I would have to
know before I could recognize terms in it that are translations of
English terms.

I'm pretty good at spotting terms that have been translated from
Japanese or Korean, and thanks to Wittgenstein I'm getting
good at spotting terms that were obviously originally in German.
Case in point: "language-game". German words remind me of those big strings of sausages that dogs pick up in their mouths and run away with.
