Don't want to all

here, but that comes as a huge surprise to me. Together with the Icelanders the French has always seemed to be very supportive of their culture and language. Making it harder for book sellers to sell books in the French language seems to fly in the face of that notion. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but comparing English and French translations of Japanese literature the French translation most often comes across as superior.
