That is a terrible way for a publishing company to operate! I mean, really!
(Also, I hear translations are hard to come by if the series doesn't sell a certain amount in English? Not sure how that works, but that could explain the Twilight thing. I know Harry Potter was translated practically everywhere, but that a lot of adult fantasy and sci-fi novels don't sell enough initially to necessarily get translated by some companies, or something like that.)
