Agree. To mention one, the English translation by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge is first class. They did excellent work with the many puns (some of them so awful it is specially funny).

And don't forget the names, where I think the English translation improves enormously on the already-funny originals: 'Vitalstatistix' for Majestix the chief, 'Dogmatix' for Id?fix the dog, 'Getafix' for the druid, 'Cacafonix' for the bard, and so on.
