The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowki
The Sword of Destiny, The Last Witch, Blood of Elves, Time of Contempt, and Baptism of Fire are all in English.
Thanks wiki.
While the last couple haven't been translated to English, there are some excellent fan translations out there.
Thank you.
There are more than the ones Sara listed, and they haven't been translated?
Damn, I was looking forward to reading the series. Oh well.
Yeah, the last two books in the series, The Swallow's Tower and Lady of the Lake.
Luckily...

Regret you don't know polish. It's the best version. c:
There is no official translation for the Witcher Novels that I'm aware of, certainly not all of them? Are you talking about fan translations?
Not sure I'm willing to trust a non-official version. They plan on releasing.those as well?
Meh, words is words.
The fan translations are actually widely regarded as superior to the official ones.
Regarded as superior by who? The people who wrote them? Lol
No. By most of the fanbase at large.
Polish is a tricky language to translate at times, and the fan translations tend to carry it over much better. I say that as someone who read the in Polish initially.
Cool. What specific translation would you suggest? (Like, by who?)
And yet Shakespeare sounds better in English than in Swahili, no offense to any Swahili speakers.
As a Polish myself, I can also confirm - it's extremely hard to translate the saga due to old polish dialect (names, jargon and the style in general), hovewer fan translations do what they can to keep the originality of the books.
Not really, that's why it's so hard to counterfeit one's style as well as make a good translation.
I think most denotations and connotations can be replicated between most languages. I could be wrong though, not something I've looked in to.
