I am unable to add a third author as a translator to this record. Does anyone know why?

Is the translator name similar to one of the listed names?

It has a name in common: Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, and Jampa Thaye. (They're different individuals of course.)

You need to add the name as JampaThaye (without space, and than edit the name. The system prevents for similar names to be added directly.

Ok thanks.

It won't let me edit it! From the new author page it tells me I'm trying to edit the data of a Goodreads author, from the book data page it doesn't change it.

I corrected it, but here's how you do it:
- go to the edition edit page
- click edit next to the name you want to change
- change it
- click save next to the changed name

You need to click the small save button on the line where the author is, then save the whole book record.

Thanks for your help.
