Frank (franklekens) | 30 comments Strange: what is the description "Welsh translation of this novel" doing in the details of what is obviously the original German edition?

I'd simply delete it if I knew at which level the mistake has been made. Maybe someone more experienced can have a look at this.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Someone probably ticked the "set description as default" box after editing that in. I would go ahead and change the default description to something more appropriate, as that isn't strictly speaking a proper description anyway.

Manybooks The original is definitely German, and the Welsh translation should not be the default. I also hope that someone did not erase the original description because although the book is on my to-read list, I don't own a copy.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments The original description is somewhere in the changelog. I would revert it myself but there are two editions of it and because my German is negligible I'm not sure which if them to use.

Ellie Loredan (ellieloredan) | 113 comments I put in the former description and set it to default. Now I'm trying to hunt down the ones for the other languages.
