What percentage of books are translated into English?

It is a historical truism and will always remain the case that some of the best books ever written were written in a language other than English. Unfortunately, only about 3% of all books published in the United States are works in translation.

How do you know if a book is translated or not?

To see if a book has been translated into a different language, including English, search for the original title in the WorldCat Union Catalog. English and other translations should appear in the results along with records for the original work.

Are translated books as good as original?

Yes, a Translation Can Be Better Than the Original

Yes, the original author created the book's story and ideas. But the translator put it in language we can understand, and there is so much artistry that goes into this process. Translators are artists too. So much changes when moving from one language to another.

Do you need permission to translate a book?

Do I Need Permission To Translate A Book? You cannot translate a book without the author's permission, as they are the copyright holder for the text. In order to translate a book, written permission from the author is often required, or, if the copyright is held by the publisher, you need to contact them instead.
