Is there a chance to translate this book into Spanish, so in Argentina we can read it too?

Asterope I have no idea. Asking on GR won't really give you an answer to this or why books aren't translated in Spanish (which I've seen you ask all over GRs).…moreI have no idea. Asking on GR won't really give you an answer to this or why books aren't translated in Spanish (which I've seen you ask all over GRs). GR is mostly for readers and while there are authors on here, it's not targeting who makes these decisions - the publishers. I suggest you actually contact the publisher directly for the book(s) you are curious about as only they can tell you what you want to know - whether a translation is coming or why they don't do them. Also, by contact the publisher directly, if enough people do this, they might see the market for these translations. As if it, publishers and the people that could make this happen or change things, won't see it as they're not looking at these GR book pages or lists.

This specific book is published by Random House. I went to their Contact Us page and noticed they have contact info for Argentina:

ARGENTINA
Random House Mondadori

Phone: +54 (11) 5235-4400

They also have a FAQ page:

Do you publish books in foreign languages such German, French, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish?

Random House primarily publishes English-language books in the United States. We do publish some titles in Spanish for the U.S. market. Please check with your local book store or online retailer if a certain title is available in a foreign language.

While they probably don't have what you're looking for, by contacting the publisher directly you'll get a directly, accurate answer. Also, like I said, if enough people email or contract the publisher regarding the desire for these translations, they might realize there's a need and market for them and do something about it. Generally online petitions don't work, but perhaps it could be something to try - have an online petition listing all the books with a publisher that you'd want translated or make available in Argentina and send it to them - if there's enough people, they might pay attention. Just an idea!

This is just one publisher, there are countless others, but it would be easy to find their contact information - just Google them.

Hope this helps! :0)(less)
