You do have to keep in mind that French language rights and German language rights (for example) are negotiated separately by the publisher/agent/author.
So, for example, a book may not have been made available at all in a given language in a given country. Or it might be available, but from an entirely different publisher than the one that handles the rights in the primary language. It is another permutation of that whole mess that affects what books are available where and for what price.
