Dear Sri Raghu,
The following readily comes to my mind:

1. swamy desikan sthOthrams and about all his other works too: A great 
summary level write up is given for each of his work in the book (in 
ensglish) written by Prof. A Srinivasa Raghavachariar Swamy. The book title 
is The life and works of Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikan.

It is brilliant book as an Introduction. adiyEn wrote in this list few 
months ago, most of the paragrpahs from this book (other than the 28 
stHothrams) under the title ThUppul maNdapam kaimkaryam appeal. You can read 
the same in the archives.

Also, the Padhuka Sahasram translation is beautifully written by Dr. VN 
Vedantha Desikan Swamy, and Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy is writing that in the 
list for all slokas. the book has got both Tamil and English translation.

The bhakti list archives (and also Srivaishnava Home page) has the English 
translation, summary for almost all 28 sthOthrams, written by Sri N 
Krishnamachari.

Sri Satakopan mama has written a detailed translation for some sthOthrams 
like Hayagreeva sthOthram, Godhasthuthi, BhagavadhyAna sOpAnamm, 
SudharsanAshtakam, and others.

The PeraruLALan, Sri Nrusimhapriya magazines are publishing regularly the 
Desikan sthOthrams translations in English.

Sri V.N. Vedantha Desikan had written English translation of Yatjiraja 
Sapthathi (which Sri Achutharaman has placed in Sri Ramanuja web page under 
Works on Ramanuja. (http://members.tripod.com/~sriramanuja )
asmadhAchAryan had relased seven cassettes on Yathiraja Sapthathi- in very 
simple easy to understand style. It is also relased as a book in Tamil.

Trust it helps
Regards
Namo Narayana

Dear Sri Madhavakkanna Swami,
Jai Srimananrayana,

I was wondering if you can suggest the best english translations of
Swami Vedanta Desika's works.

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam,
Ramanuja Dasaha
