I edited (minor typos) the description of Legenda Makam Hercules - The Tomb Of Hercules, and then checked the most popular edition just to see the english version.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35...
and surprised that the default description was from the indonesian edition.

I tried to changed the default description to another english edition
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...
i meant to make it the default description by ticking the "make this the default description" tickbox.
but I was denied, with a grey writings:
"Setting default (only one edition for this book)".
no tickbox available.

even more suprised when i checked the librarian change logs,
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/6...
the right side bar says that the librarian who've made the change of the default description from english to indonesian edition was ME.

haha. very funny.

did anybody else experiencing the same thing?

now I'm afraid if I make some correction to the description of a translated book, it will happened again.

* I made an English version the default description, forgetting it replaces all other descriptions using the default, including the Indonesian one. Can you go back in and check if it is correct (I had to copy and paste it from the log which does not hold formatting).

Also if you feel like it, all the "Of" need to be changed to "of" on many editions.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Make sure not to check the "Set as default edition" box and you should be fine.

Nenangs | 464 comments Thanks Krystal.

It's all savvy now. :)

I still don't understand what happened in the first place, though. :p
