Strugatsky brothers and Sergei Lukyanenko: Russian, Stanisław Lem and Andrzej Sapkowski: Polish. If you count classics: Jules Verne: French. Having said that, I agree that there are not enough of SFF works transklated into English.

Nils Krebber | 208 comments Frank Schätzing and Markus Heitz (both from germany) are the two SF and Fantasy writers that I am aware of who've been translated.

Ivi_kiwi | 87 comments In the young adult sff i can think of astrid lindgren (brothers lionheart), otfried preussler (krabat) and michael ende (neverending story).
Furthermore dmitry glukhovsky (. Metro 2033) and walter moers ( 13 1/2 lives of captain bluebear) come to my mind.

Nathan (tenebrous) | 377 comments I would like to see more Wuxia novels translated into English, though the translation could be difficult.
