sometimes books are given titles in other languages that aren’t a word for word translation
Yes, that was my main motivation for this exercise. Otherwise I could just translate the title to all languages I am interested in and do a Google search.
For example, googling for “three days in dwarf land” + author’s name only finds the German translation. So an English one either does not exist (I believe this is this case), or has a wildly different name (possible, but seems quite unlikely… after so much searching I probably would have already found some trace).
