Jane Nickerson | 5 comments Could you please add the book So Wie Kupfer und Gold (already in the Goodreads catalog)isbn: 3570162680 to my list so it appears on my author dashboard and other places as one of my books.

Thanks.

Jane Nickerson | 5 comments Well, if it is normally done that way on goodreads I guess that is allright, but it seems like combining them would be a problem for the readers of the languages that come on later. There are some many reviews and ratings and things for the English version already posted, that somebody trying to read comments about the translation, in the language they understand, would be unable to find those reviews or ratings. Also, the translator puts their mark on the book and makes it a different work, that might be reviewed differently.

I would much prefer to to have each language version listed separately and available separately for easy access and evaluation individually.

Is this possible?

Ren | 688 comments Jane, it's Goodreads' policy to list all translations together. If a user wants to see the comments for a specific edition, they can do so by using the filter under "Community Reviews" and selecting "this edition".
