It looks pretty good without any translation. Seems to me it would
be a better idea to set it up so you could navigate it without any
text - ISBNs, national flags etc.
I was surprised to see how many of your foreign-language designs are
simply the same as the English original with the title translated. It
wasn't always that way.
I hope you find the cover of the first Finnish edition of Iain Banks's
"The Wasp Factory" sometime. I heard Banks talking about it, and it
even grossed *him* out.
