∞ (eska17) On Bosnian translation of some book I've found has phonetic pronunciation of author's name next to the original name. Should I add quotes from Bosnian edition for original or phonetic author?
Should I even put quotes which aren't on original language?

I'd say, always go with the original spelling of a name whenever possible.

"Should I even put quotes which aren't on original language?"
Sure, there's plenty of translations to be found in the quotes section.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments if you want to link the quote to a specific book you will need to use the name as documented on the book record.

The name of the book record will depend on if the book has been translated in to English, if it has then it will be a roman version, if not then the original language version
