@Tabbycatlove: Do you mean of the title of the article? "The Twenty-One Collections" or "The Collections of Twenty-One Ages/Eras" would work. But those are my translations and making them the title of the article would be a disaster.
As for translations of the works themselves: the Kokinshu was translated by McCullough a few decades back, and I think Miner did one too; I imagine the Shinkokinshu has also been translated in its entirety at some point. The six in between are a lot iffier, and I honestly doubt any of them have been translated into English or any European language in their entirety. The thirteen later translations are even more obscure and I would bet money that they have never been translated in their entirety.
It's pretty off-topic for this talk page, but individual poems get translated all the time in other contexts, including academic studies of the collections themselves. Keene's Seeds in the Heart translates at least one poem from all of the first eight and several of the later ones, usually as representations of the work of the best-known contemporary poets featured in each. And poems from most or all of the first eight were included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, which has been translated to English at least a dozen times since the 1860s.
