You have to know where to look, in order to find translated literature in English. Here are various suggestions (websites wholly, or partly, in English):
Books
Useful printed guides to fiction in English translation can be found at:
http://tiny.cc/k8Ol3
This is a list of the various guides in book form: Dutch & Flemish; French; German; Italian; Jewish; Portugal & Brazil & Africa; Scandinavian; Welsh; Brazilian [again]; and Hungarian.
Websites
These websites focus on fiction and sometimes poetry written principally in one country or language.
French:

German (general cultural website):

Swedish (introduction to their periodical)
http://www.swedishbookreview.com/
Estonian

Catalan
http://www.llull.cat/llull/index.jsp?idioma=en
Dutch
http://www.nlpvf.nl/
Norwegian
http://www.norla.no/en/information
Polish

South Africa (books in English, plus translations from Zulu, Afrikaans, Sotho, etc.)
http://tiny.cc/r1qKa
Finland
http://www.finlit.fi/fili/en/

There are many other ones for other nations and languages. This merely represents the handful I've consulted over recent years. But these websites will give you an idea that there are many authors writing and publishing right now, anno 2008, all over Europe (and, of course, beyond). The Wikipedia is helpful, but on some of these websites you can sometimes also find information about new books, prices, bookshops, and so on. I will continue to add websites as I find them.
