François Angers (francoisangers) | 71 comments Hi,
What happens when a series has two different series titles in the same language? There is a case with these books, both in French, published under two different title series
in Quebec it's called "La Bête du Lac" and the first book is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

in France it's called "Le Mangeur d'Âmes" and the first book is
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Is there a way to arrange that?

thanks

Arenda | 26447 comments Created a series for "La Bête du Lac" as that is the original title.
Noted the French series title in the series description.

On a series page, it is always the default edition (= most popular, most shelved) that will show. Therefore policy is not to create a series for each language, only when the numbering is different.

The French series title is still in the title field of the French edition, and will show on some pages.

François Angers (francoisangers) | 71 comments The title of the series should then be "La Bête du Lac", since the Quebec version came out first

I can't create series title.

François Angers (francoisangers) | 71 comments There is another book in the series
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I used the formatting in parentheses for the title but it's not showing up in the series.

A book has to be added to the series by a librarian. I have added book 2 to the series.
