Considering this is a list of books written in English, the language descended from Anglo-Saxon, what did you expect them to do? Include foreign books that their English readers can't read?
(And no, just because a non-English book is great and worth reading does not automatically confer that same status onto an English translation based upon that book.)

I've spotted few translated books in this list, so I don't see why this is a problem.

I disagree, I think good translations are pretty much transparent. Substance matters more.
