Andrea (andreadeyanira) | 15 comments I've noticed there are different "W.I.T.C.H." series created but only because they're in different languages. I mean, is the same serie, only it is in differents languages. Should I delete them and only leave one, or is it fine as it is?

Here they are:

* In Italian

* In Polish

* In German

Is the numbering of the volumes the same from language to language?

Annika | 568 comments Rivka, I have a related question. When a series has changed names, do we keep both of them or can the old one be deleted?
They are exactly the same, part from the name.

Old series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1048...

New one: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1688...

Actually, we keep the old one, edit it to have the new name, but make a note of the old name in the series description.

Any existing editions with the old series name on the title line should be left that way.

No, they have different numbering.

If they have different numbering, then they should be kept. If the numbering is the same and only the languages are different, there should be only one series, with the names in other languages noted in the series description.
