Fiasco was translated into English in 1988 by Michael Kandel:
Fiasco (Polish: Fiasko) is a science fiction novel by Polish author Stanisław Lem, first published in a German translation in 1986. The book, published in Poland the following year, is a further elaboration of Lem's skepticism: in Lem's opinion, the difficulty in communication with alien civilizations is cultural disparity rather than spatial distance. The failure to communicate with an alien civilization is the main theme of the book.

Given that the original Foundation stories were written in the 1940s [wikipedia.org] and the first publication of the collected storeis as the "Foundation Trilogy" was in 1952, while the subsequent books were all written and published in the 1980s/1990s, it's not surprising that there were significant differences in focus.
I've read them all, and found that the later novels did try to pull too much of Asimov's "robot" stories into them. At the same time, the initial trilogy can and does stand on its own as pretty darn good.
