You are so lucky. I read the german translation
of WoT, and they do three german books out of one english.
I have 21 right now, and the translating company lists
up to number 26 with "more to come"...

speaking as someone who works in a bookstore...the next robert jordan book to
come out is either an anthology or full book. it is a conan the barbarian book,
not from the wheel of time. it will be out in november if memory serves me
correctly.

as for his next WOT book...who knows, no word from the publishers yet.

as for how many books the series will take to be complete??? last i heard it was
12 or 13.
