I've only read one of these authors, so I don't think I'm qualified to answer. XD

I am sorry unfortunatelly of this list i have only read to Regina Doman for this reason i will vote for her. I do not know that this is the only author of this list translated to spanish.
Since I rarely enjoy retellings, I don’t have an opinion. :-)
I loved Jessica Day George’s Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow the best, but for the most part I have to say Gail Carson Levine. I’ve read all of Melanie Dickerson’s retellings and they are great, but she just doesn’t have that extra knack that the other two do.
Robin McKinley and Patricia McKillip need to be on here!

Thanks!
My favourite, Deborah Grace White, isn't here unfortunately. I love her fairytale retellings.

I added both!
Ahhh I don't think I've read any of these! It's not a genre I've looked into much yet. I have been meaning to read the Lunar Chronicles (I read part of the first book but got lazy and didn't finish) and Regina Doman's stuff though. I'm also curious about Ella Enchanted- I watched part of the movie, but I haven't read any.

I adore the book, but I saw five minutes of the movie and went NOPE.
Ugh, how I hate the Ella Enchanted movie. Mostly because I didn’t like it when I saw it and so didn’t pick up the book till I found out it was by the author of The Two Princesses of Bamarre. The book is now one of my favorites, but I felt like they filmed the movie in a bedroom two toddlers had decorated to play dress-up in.
