Do you really think that non-fiction is exclusively written in english?



No, but it is economical to translate into e.g. English, less so to translate into Swedish or Estonian.


Depends on the genre. It wasn't unusual for an acclaimed travelogue by a French or German author to be translated into multiple European languages, but never get an English version because UK and US publishers assume their market just won't buy foreign-penned travel books.
