Online polls (like all polls) have to be taken with many grains of salt, but it's still worth noting that a recent German boersenblatt.net poll asking how translators should be credited on books garnered 1356 votes, and just under 90 per cent said translators' names should be mentioned on the covers of books.
The rest said an inside-mention sufficed; surprisingly (honestly -- you'd figure at least one in a thousand would suggest it), no one at all appears to have said it was fine not mentioning the translator at all .....
