Thanks for those, interesting to have some more unusual ones. I've
added them to my scarily long list.
If they’re in German I could probably manage, but Non parlo italiano
and No hablo español.

I would like to add three authors that are not so common in the
English literature:
Tomás Maldonado, Gui Bonsiepe and Vilém Flusser.
Tomás Maldonado is an argentinian painter, designer and thinker. He
was the director of the hfg ulm (Germany) and one of the theorist
behind the model of Ulm. Unfortunately, most of Maldonado%u2019s
texts are not translated into English (yet). But for those that can
read Italian or Spanish, it's a must. As an example, this book:
Maldonado, Tomás. Reale e virtuale. Milano: Feltrinelli, 2005.
Gui Bonsiepe studied and taught in the hfg ulm and then moved to
Latin America, working mainly in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. He also
taught until recent time in the Fachhochschule Köln (now named KISD).
Some of his texts are in English, such as:
Bonsiepe, Gui. Interface - An Approach to Design. Netherlands: Jan
Van Eyck Akademie, 1999.
Vilém Flusser is a philosopher, media and design theorist born in
Prague. He migrated to Brazil in the early %u201940s where he
produced most of his work. Again, his ideas were published in German
or Portuguese. But it seems to be appearing in English too:
Flusser, Vilém. Writings (Electronic Mediations). Minneapolis:
University of Minnesota Press, 2004.
