Mistake when adding isbn13 and adding a new edition

I have fixed the ISBN issue; there is now only one edition with both the 10- and 13-digit ISBN. Unfortunately, GR does not automatically convert these. You can find a converter here.I also combined the Finnish edition with the rest of the editions.

Thanks. Unfortunately the latter problem of my original message is not fixed, only changed.

is the Finnish translation of this:

Hopeapuu is the part #5 of the series, not part #2 as it says now.
Thanks for the isbn converter link. There are several other nice isbn converters in the net I know already. I have also a python script which I have used to convert my own book database from isbn10 to isbn13 (check https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-s...)
I have been testing Goodreads so that I know whether to import all my books. I have to study the import system so that I know how to use it correctly and how to add books Goodreads does not know. I could add some books manually, but not all 2000 books.

Thanks a lot. Seems to be ok now.
I tried to add some Finnish language Rei Shimura books and found out that there is at least one wrong isbn in the Goodreads database. This:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
show that the isbn is 9789524596 which is an obvious mistake. It has only 10 numbers, but it begins 978. I don't own that edition of the book, but The National Bibliography of Finland says that there is a paperback edition published 2006 (additional printing 2007) and it says that ISBN is 952-459-643-1 and ISBN13 is 978-952-459-643-5. Could you fix that also?




These two are exactly the same book:

I tried also to add a new edition of a book. I found out that the original book is in the Goodreads and did not use the Add new edition button. This is the English language edition:

My Finnish language edition is:

Why Goodreads does not calculate automatically the missing isbn10 or isbn13 for all books in the database?
