Series in other languages (Persian and Arabic)

[lethe]

Lately I've come across two series, one in Persian, one in Arabic, that I'm not sure about.

This one seems to be exactly the same as the original Robot series. Should it be deleted?

This series was added in Arabic, but it seems more logical to me that the series should be in French (Rocambole): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
except I'm not sure that the French and Arabic editions are the same. Only the first volume is combined with editions in other languages (but maybe the others should be as well?).
Should this be left and another series added in French (I'm not familiar with it, but I could give it a try)?

Thoughts?

If the order of the series doesn't change and if all the Persian editions are combined with corresponding English editions (assuming the content is same for each work and hence combine is valid) then having a separate Persian series is redundant and can be deleted.

IMHO.

Yup. But add the series name in Persian to the English series' details section.

Maybe they're not the same after all. The Persian series also includes books from the Foundation Universe series, but not all: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4942...

Since I'm not familiar with this universe, I'll leave it alone.
