Mt web-site does include all the known German translations, but John Wilson's message made me look again at it - there were in fact two dates missing from the German pages (now restored!). Only one pre-war translation was made, that of Der Kampf um die Insel (SA) in 1933. The abridged German edition of WD is in English for German students of English. Full list of German editions:
Der Kampf um die Insel (SA)
Im Schwalbental (SD)
Weihnachtsferien (WH)
Die unfreiwillige Seefahrt (WD)
Seeräuberkönigin Li (ML)
The Czech editions surpass all others in number of different versions published - four different publishers have joined in, two of them still printing. SA has already been published five times with a sixth still to come! There are some copies not on my site yet as I haven't yet seen or acquired them, but I'm getting there! Thanks, John, for indirectly pointing out the omissions.
