Hi Nicolai,
Glad to hear you ask about the Strugatsky brothers, I am a big fan (and they are way way out of print in the US, maybe w exception of Roadside Picnic). There's a scholar named Yvonne Howell in Virginia who wrote a useful book called Apocalyptic Realism, one of the only books in Engl about them. She may know details about translations; is very friendly to random people who contact her about Russian & E European fantastical literature (she told me to read War with the Newts by Capek which is unbelievably wonderful and hilarious, especially for fans of the "Futurological Congress" Lem.
And, I am very stupid but could not figure out how to post a new question, so I'll ask it here for anyone reading this: Where were Lem's drawings on the Lem site first seen (were they illustrations? in which editions?), and where are they physically located now? The reproductions appear to be photographs of sketches, not reproductions of published drawings. Thanks to everyone!
