Characters and series names

[lethe]

I read in another thread that characters are work-specific and that therefore they should remain in the original language (English in that specific case).

Is this correct? Can I delete the Persian character names from this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... ?

I also stumbled upon a series in English for an originally Dutch series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/5992...
Shouldn't the series name be in Dutch, with the English name mentioned in the description?

I'm not seeing a problem with leaving the Persian character names in addition to the English ones. But unless the series has different numbering in English, you are correct here:

There is no official numbering, just publication order. Considering the development of the main characters, keeping the numbering makes sense.

I've renamed the series.

And I'm assuming the English editions also aren't broken into a different number of books? (Which would be a reason for a separate series even with no numbering.)

No, just integral translations.
The last two Dutch books have not been translated in English, at least not according to Worldcat.

Thank you!
