> Sadly books accessible in the US / English language is slowly becoming synonymous with general availability, through no fault of the US/UK or other English speaking countries. A huge amount of books are simply never translated to language with smaller markets.

Depends on the market I guess. I've checked the availability of the top 10 books of 2023 on Shepherd (https://shepherd.com/bboy/2023) in Hungary, which is a tiny market of ~10 million people. 50% of the books are available in in translated version, which I think is not terrible.
