I haven't read the new one yet, 'O vencedor está só.' I've only read his stuff in English and Spanish but, I imagine it's a dream in Portuguese. I just learned that 'The Alchemist' has been translated into 49 languages. I also found a little Question and Answer thing with Coelho in which he talks about the translation of his work. "I trust the translators - my father in law was one and I could see how dedicated he was to be as faithful to the original work. I consider them as builders of bridges and thanks to their efforts my soul is able to reach so many people." -- Paulo Coelho I enjoy reading him as well.

I figured that Paulo Coelho would have been the most translated author, but this mostly comes from my biased view that I love his novels and can read them in nearly every language I choose.

Hubbard doesn't even appear in the top 50 and the Bible comes in 11th? Maybe that's the number of translations they have in their database? Not sure, but thanks for the link!

I don't know how up-to-date it is, but maybe the Guinness Book uses other criteria.
