Dear Alain,

After I fixed my page to use the new search engine, I used it myself. In
addition to Hans Christian Andersen, I also have a site about Jules Verne,
http://JV.Gilead.org.il/, and natuarally I looked in the search engine for
Jules Verne's translation. The pie chart in

    http://www.unesco.org/culture/xtrans/html_eng/graph17.htm

surprised me a lot, and I am sure it will surprise you: According to it, there
are no English Jules Verne translations! I looked at the search engine itself,
and it showed only 38 English titles, in comparison to 1297 Spanish titles (a
rise from 1168 in the pie chart), 285 Russian, etc. This is quite astonishing!

Best,

Zvi.
