Chad Post has posted the (preliminary) 2013 'Translation Database' (of (previously untranslated) fiction and poetry in translation published in the US in 2013 -- you can download it here), and at Three Percent he offers some commentary, in Why Bury the Lede ? AmazonCrossing Publishes More Books in Translation than Anyone Else (In 2013. Probably.)
The database is a great resource -- and Chad's observations are also of interest. The upward trend in available translations is certainly heartening, as is the fact that there are more publishers publishing works in translation. As to AmazonCrossing zooming to the head of the list (with its ... unusual selection of titles) ... I still don't know quite how to take that. (As to the big American publishers publishing so very little in translation ... I can just shake my head in disappointment.)
