Different Languages

[Pamela]

So, you may or may not know that a lot of books have been translated into many languages. One of these languages is Japanese. And some of the Japanese-translated books get cut into parts. Like book 1 becoming 3 books in Japan.

My question is, do we create a new series page for these translated editions or do we place them in their English counterparts?

If the numbering is different, which one would expect if the volumes are broken into more parts, then they will need a different series.

Ok, so I made this:

http://www.goodreads.com/series/45363...
http://www.goodreads.com/series/93805

Is this ok?

Looks good, Pamela.

Thank you

Sorry, only almost there: The very helpful (cross reference) notes refer to the series FROM which they refer instead of TO the respective other one. So, by clicking on the refs, you will get nowhere.

Less obfuscated: The English series says "hey, there is also a Japanese series", with the correctly displayed Japanes title, but with the reference to the English series. The Japanese series says "there is also an English one", again with the correct display, but a reference to itself.

Have a look, please:

English:
http://www.goodreads.com/series/45363...

Japanese:
http://www.goodreads.com/series/93805

See Japanese translation: トワイライト

By clicking the Japanese title link, is it meant to direct us to the Japanese page?
If so, it's not working as it takes me to the English page again.

Done

Michael, sorry I was a bit inexperienced with link formats before.. I used the quotes sign (") instead of equals before quote (=")

Apologies for going completely off-topic but I just have to say that I find the cartoon-style covers for the Japanese translation hilarious. I wasn't aware that this was a thing in Japan but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Hey, please never be sorry, least of all towards me. Thank you for investing time+energy. I am just another (quite fresh) librarian. I just have a talent for bugs. They attract me... :-)
