* The series ''Literature/Woodwalkers'' is popular in its homecountry Germany, but it hasn't been translated into english yet

* While Creator/RosemaryWells's books have been translated in English, French and Spanish. Some of her books such as the more recent entries to the ''Literature/MaxAndRuby'' series, Noisy Nora, Shy Charles, and the Yoko series aren't translated in other countries.

* ''Les Pyjamasques'', the French picture book series that the animated series ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'' was adapted from, has yet to receive an English translation or get published anywhere outside of France. Despite the fact that the tv-show is very succesful ([[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff especially in America]]).

* In a particularly bizarre example, Creator/AgathaChristie's short story "Three Blind Mice" has never been published in the UK. This is because it is a prose version of her play ''Theatre/TheMousetrap'' with the same solution, and Christie contractually agreed with her British publishers that the story would never be published while the play was running to avoid spoiling said solution... and ''The Mousetrap'' is still being staged in London and, due to its famed record-holding status as the longest continuously-running play in the English-speaking world, will probably never end until the collapse of civilisation.

* ''Literature/StielaugeDerUrkrebs'' is a German book that was never released in other languages, probably due to it being released during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

* ''Literature/SitioDoPicapauAmarelo'' by Monteiro Lobato is considered the Brazilian equivalent to ''Literature/ChroniclesOfNarnia'' and has been translated to both Russian and Spanish languages... But never officially translated to English. Its especially mind-bogging given the author was personally responsible for translating Tarzan and the Jungle Book to Portuguese language.

* While Creator/HarryTurtledove's ''{{Worldwar}}'' books were translated and released in the Russian-speaking countries. The ''Colonization'' series and ''Homeward Bound'' were not. The culprit here is not Turtledove or his publisher but the Russian publisher Eksmo, who bought the rights to the book and then sat on them (and are still sitting), refusing to translate and release the novels for "ideological reasons". They claim that they don't like how the USSR is portrayed in the novels, despite the fact that it was portrayed much ''worse'' in ''Worldwar'' (in fact, Russians are far from being central to the main plots of ''Colonization'' or ''Homeward Bound''). Additionally, the existence of Nazi Germany in the 60s was claimed as "distasteful", despite the fact that there are plenty of AlternateHistory Russian novels that do the same.

* Two of Mitsuyo Kakuta's novels have been translated into English. If you enjoyed those two and want to read more, then tough luck--she's written lots of other books, but only two have been translated.
