AmazonCrossing does translate from English into German and other languages. But what they translate is bestselling indie titles.
Anyway, I'm glad that they're doing well and that we'll be getting more translations into English from reasonably well-known popular and/or prize-winning foreign authors.
They've introduced me to a number of authors I really enjoy, especially the Nordic ones whose works I'd otherwise have to brush up on my French or learn German to read, as those seem to be the major other languages that their books are translated into. (Although it might come to that eventually, as French publishers are several books in advance for a number of series and authors whose more recent volumes haven't shown up in English quite yet, or apparently just didn't sell well enough to continue the AmazonCrossing translations, unfortunately.)
