To help you find books from around the world, we compile an annual list of translations into English for young readers.
This year we’ve counted 216 translations so far, from the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Faroese, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Welsh.
You can look back at previous years’ lists here (we’ve been collecting this data since 2017).
Where possible we #NameTheTranslator and list the country and language the book originated in, before this English edition. For example, [Spanish, Argentina] means it was first published in Spanish, in Argentina.
We are continually updating this list and you can help us by sending us book details. Please send any corrections and additions to us via this Google form. Thank you!
Wherever in the world your reading journey takes you … bon voyage!
