I have noticed that the English translation of Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster's Daughter is only listed as an alternative edition under the Indonesian translation and is therefore not searchable on the Goodreads database . As the translator, I would like my version to be listed as a separate book, not just an edition, so I can add it to my Author's Page. (Also I would like to be credited as the translator, but I guess that would be the next step.) What to do?

It is not possible to separate out different translations as they are NOT separate books, but editions of that title which happens to be in a different language. The book is searchable on the database by both title and ISBNs.I am setting the erroneous version you added for merge into the correct edition now.

The only remaining problem is that I can't add it to my author page as I translate under a slightly different name now (Louise Heal Kawai) Is there a way to do that too?
As the Louise Heal Kawai is a more complete version of your name that entirely encompasses Louise Heal*, I can merge those.* Goodreads policy :)
