EspañolINDEX TRANSLATIONUM
The 'Index Translationum' is an index of translated authors kept by UNESCO.
Since the advent of the printing press, books had been translated at the initiative of individual publishers and booksellers, with no central record of such translations. The League of Nations set up the first systematic record of translations in 1932.
In 1946, the UN superseded the League and UNESCO was assigned the Index. In 1979, the system was computerized and a true cumulative database began to take shape. Since there is no systematic data on global book sales, the Index has come to be the best available proxy.
As of August 2007, the 10 most translated authors in the world with over 2000 translations each are:[1]
★ Disney Productions
★ Agatha Christie
★ Jules Verne
★ Vladimir Lenin
★ Enid Blyton
★ William Shakespeare
★ Barbara Cartland
★ Danielle Steel
★ Hans Christian Andersen
★ Stephen King
