You have experience in languages that have relatively limited hiring pools. My advice would be to look for full-time roles that need help in these languages, email the hiring manager/company, and offer your services part-time or on a contract basis. I would bet a lot of them would be happy to get someone in the role quickly than have no one at all. Good luck.

I saw the same problems with part-time/contract work and I'm in the process of building a job board specifically catered towards this. I have many startups lined up based on some of my writing on https://parttimetech.substack.com/ https://parttimetech.substack.com/. Hope to get the job board up shortly. Check it out if interested. </shameless plug >
A few related insights (some you've already mentioned):
* existing job boards are not built for this
* there is actually a pretty wide range of what contract/part-time work could look like. my hope is to help companies explore this a bit further to create better outcomes for employers and employees
* employers need help seeing when contract/part-time work is actually the right tool for the job. i hope to emphasize this more in future posts. most just don't think of it as an option.
