The entire Pretty Good Year story has been translated into German by the absolutely fabulous Cuthalion. You can email her by clicking here to tell her how astoundingly lovely she is.
While I am awed at the time and effort any of the people whose translations appear here have put into their task, I feel that Cuthalion deserves especial attention for such an undertaking.
