Bob could likely read them (AND help Harry figure out the magic).
Also, insta-language is a known thing, just ask Lasciel! I wonder if Bonny might know OldWelsh? I bet Harry could get Old Welsh from Mab (but the price may be high, or have hidden catches), or from Vadderung (likely to LOOK like a high price, but not actually be a problem).
Or, hell, Eb could've decided to be easy on Harry, and create/bind a Mini-Bob OldWelsh Tutor into the first volume, or something similar... I mean, Eb could've, but Jim wouldn't!

Where is Professor J.R.R. Tolkien when you need him? Harry might ask..

Bob is not that old but he can process information a lot faster than Harry so who knows.
There are more than enough Sidhe who can read and speak it fluently and Harry met a whole lot of them in curses so Harry could even ask for a translation but that means sharing the information.
All fast methods imply sharing the information with someone and Harry might not want to do so. He can try to learn the language but he is not a fast learner of language if his experience with latin is indicative. It will take real effort over years.
There might be tricks to speed it up if Harry is prepared to leave his body for a while and stretch subjective time the way Bob does but....

Bob is that old, but he no longer works for Harry.

His skull is not that old. We do not really know how old Bob is.
But getting Bob’s aid is as difficult as getting Butters aid. It does mean sharing information with Butters though.
