edit[Note: The English translations listed below were identified from Johann Kepler: Oxford Bibliographies Online Research Guide (OUP, 2010), of which only a partial preview was available on Google, hence it is incomplete. The guide states (pg. 5) "There were no translations of Kepler’s works into English until the 20th century, and the vast majority appeared after 1960. ... There are still no translations of some of his important works, such as De stella nova (On the New Star, 1606) and Dioptrice (Dioptrics, 1611), nor is there a complete translation of his Epitome astronomiae Copernicanae (Epitome of Copernican Astronomy, 1621)]
