Hsing Chin Lee, the translator of SA into Chinese, came and spoke about it to the TARS Literary Weekend in 2005. She had published it originally in Hong Kong and Taiwan in 2004, using traditional Chinese characters, and was working on a further edition in the simplified characters used in the PRC.
A Russian translation by Marina Avdonina also appeared in 2004, with AR's own illustrations in the book, but a spectacularly inappropriate cover picture by someone else.
Ransome's Foreign Legion by Robert Thompson has a lot of information, and reproductions of the covers, about these and most other translations - not to mention many examples of illustrations by other artists. A few copies are still available for TARS members to buy.
