7 Brands created this nifty infographic that shows the world’s most translated books. Visually, it’s a great way to see and understand the accessibility of literature across the world. And ideally, it should make us wonder what books are not being translated.

English language books are translated far more than any other, and thousands of non-English books suffer from little to no availability in English, let alone other languages. If anything, this range of literary offerings shows us how much other tongues have to offer us.

You might notice that the Bible — which, including the New Testament, has been translated into thousands of languages — isn’t mentioned. We’re as stumped as you are. But it’s a great list nonetheless.
