Adding a book that is a translation of a book

[Gianluca]

Hi there,
I am trying to add some books which actually are translation of other books. Usually, I first find the original book/author, look for "other editions" and if I don't find the edition in my language I click on "add a new edition" and compile the relevant information (title in translated language, pages, cover etc, synopsis). Yet, I've done that for a few books, but they aren't automatically listed as "other editions" of the book. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Your doing nothing wrong, the editions need to be combined. There is no auto combine

If you post links to the books here someone will combine

Edit: helps if you link to the book to be combined with also

Basically I am asking the same question but I would like to have it confirmed once more.

I have asked yesterday here in the group that three new books are getting added in the GR database. Quite by accident I have discovered today that I can do this myself (adding books manually), even I am not a librarian. At least I *think* I can do this. Didn´t try.

The only thing a librarian actually needs to do then is to combine the different editions. Is this so far correct Paula or do I overlook something?

Yes that is correct, you can add them but need to be a librarian to combine
