This represents a partial list of translated science fiction orgionally writen in french. Its authors are largely french, although at least one on this list is Quebecois. More entries may be added at a later date as more work gets done on the list. An oddity of french science fiction published in the last 5 years is the prevalence of reprinted works of classic French science fiction and proto science fiction. Brian Stableford and Black Coat Press deserve large credit for this, having published numerous titles during the time period covered. Brian Stableford will be presented with the ARESFFT Special Award for Services to Translation for his efforts at the upcoming Science Fiction and Fantasy Translation Awards.
