Vorkosigan Wiki help
The dedicated fan who is working on the Vorkosigan Wiki needs some help with the Translations page, in progress:
http://vorkosigan.wikia.com/wiki/Tran...
It also has a Talk page for discussions.
There seem to be a lot of international fans who read this blog, who might be a better resource than I am.

"I've made a "second draft" of all the web-pages in the Translations project, and I'm hoping you can fill me in on some backstory with them. Here's a list of the worst problems:
Russian has two ebook versions, one for Barrayar (http://lavka.lib.ru/bujold/barr.htm) and one for Cryoburn that both lack ISBNs. For Cryoburn, I have three places where it can be found:
http://loveread.ec/view_global.php?id... &
http://royallib.com/book/budgold_lois... &
https://www.livelib.ru/book/100045713...
For Spanish, I'm getting confused. There seem to be two fairly serious efforts to make epub versions of the Vorkosigan Saga. There are no dates, there are no ISBNs or ASINs or any other identifying markings, though the Saga Vorkosigan ## series gives citations of which book was used to make the epub (the other series doesn't). It seems I've mixed some of those covers into my set of pictures on the site, and I'm not sure whether to keep them or not. I'm definitely planning to redo the Spanish page as soon as I've gotten something more definitive for what was published when.
The sites are:
http://libros-gratis.com/author/ebook...
http://www.lectulandia.com/serie/vork...
And of course there's the Bulgarian ebook Etan ot Aton (Ethan of Athos, 2005)
https://chitanka.info/text/1309-etan-...
What should I make of these books? For later: There are also a very few others where I don't know ISBN (or an equivalent, for Hebrew) or translator, and a lot where I don't know artist. I don't know how much I want to pester you for artist names, though I'm willing to try with ISBN and translator.
Thanks for any help you can give me,"
Chime in, multilingual folks! At the Wiki by preference, to save steps.

Happy Winterfair greetings to all, and special thanks to our beloved writer.

http://vorkosigan.wikia.com/wiki/Talk...
or
go to
http://vorkosigan.wikia.com/wiki/Tran...
and create a talk page for it?
I'd like to chat back and forth a bit, if possible.

I think the reason is that in the 90s and early 2000s they weren't using ISBNs - I've asked around a bit, you see.
If you have copies of some of her Bulgarian-translated books, there are more questions I'd like to ask... Really, though it might just be best to point you to the database I'm currently working in and ask if you would take a look at the books there and "verify" any you own - not necessarily just Lois's books, though particularly them - it's at isfdb.org, and they very much want people with books, particularly older ones, to compare them to what's in the database and make corrections as appropriate.
Feel free to do or not as you wish - this is not a demand... ;)
