On my shelves I have Jack Vance translations in 11 languages, not counting English. So, I wondered how many languages into which his works had been translated?
There are at least: 1) Dutch (his greatest European fans) 2) Italian, 3) French, 4) Spanish, 5) Portuguese, 6) German, 7) Swedish, 8) Czech, 9) Russian, 10) Japanese, and 11) Hebrew.
A subsidiary question is what the most popular foreign work(s) would be. For extra credit, into how many languages have the non-sf/fantasy works been translated?
