“best non English fiction” is a really weird category. Most people will at most know 1-2 languages apart from English, so there’s basically no basis for comparison and everyone will just vote for whatever book happens to be in their native language.
If you want to highlight books from outside the Anglosphere, why not make a “best translated book” category instead? That way, everyone gets the chance to read the winning book, and people can still nominate books they’ve read in a non-english language, if an English translation exists.
