Arto | 59 comments How to keep series in same language. I have found series that are mixed with several languages, so original isn't first choice maybe because translated version is added here first. https://www.goodreads.com/series/6440...

And is it possible to create series with correct version.
So if I create series for French versions, I see those editions and if there is series created in dutch, there is dutch versions?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments The edition of a book which shows in the series page will always be the default edition of the book, which is usually the most popular (sometimes if the primary author is part of the Goodreads Author program they will choose a different edition to showcase as the default).

It does happen that a series can have some books which are more popular in one language and other books which are more popular in a different language. There's not much which can be done about that other than to consider it an interesting demographic display!

Unless a series is republished with a different numbering scheme, there should only be one series created. If the series has different names, those names can be listed in the description of the series (which I'll do for this series).
