Outside of the USA the books are published in the language of said country (except England and Australia). You can't buy a King book at the local bookstore in the Netherlands that is published in English, can you? We have a few members from other countries that are always saying that they have to wait for a year or so until a new King book is interpreted into their native language and therefore cannot read the book until then.
I can buy Dr. Sleep in Dutch or English at any major bookstore. Smaller bookstores only have the Dutch version. I guess they are very fast in translating here Like The Wind through the Keyhole, it was available almost right after USA release.
