Foreign language versions

I've noticed that there are various foreign languages editions available for some of the JF books, but was wondering why there are no Spanish versions... I would love to read the Spanish editions, or maybe even help translate them if they really don't exist! Any ideas how I would go about finding out??

I was also wondering why the foreign language versions suddenly don't exist from TN5 onwards... is there a particular reason for this?!

Thanks!

As I read the Foreign versions page, a Spanish version is available for The Eyre Affair, as well as for Lost in a Good Book, The Well of Lost Plots, and Something Rotten.

As for TN5 onward, maybe Jasper just doesn't update his pages frequently enough...

TN5 has been translated to German, but only recently. So maybe the other publishers are still working on it?

i suggest contacting Mr. Fforde or his U.K. publisher to find the Spanish publisher and see if they are willing to take on new translators. I don't hold out much hope, but don't ask, don't get!
