Nik Krasno | 19850 comments Some of them would be obvious and you'd probably guess them, others - might be a surprise:

Not sure how accurate this list is.
What masterpiece, in your opinion, needs to be translated into as many languages as possible and is it on the list?

Nik Krasno | 19850 comments Do you read translated into your language lit? What are your favorites that weren't originally written in your mother tongue?

Philip (phenweb) I'm using BabelCube to translate out of English - not with success from sales but have a few books in other languages and some still in production.

I recently tried to read a Japanese translation and had to DNF - not because of the language but because the plot was boring

J.J. Mainor | 2440 comments France might be my second largest market right now. I had a patron ask for a French translation of my current WIP, so I agreed thinking I can put it up on Amazon.fr when it's done. I'm using an online translator, and I have a faint understanding of French so I can pick up some of the stupid things the translator wants to do. and the patron says it's a decent enough translation, so I'm thinking it might work on Amazon.
