Jennie (bobcatbrarian) | 4 comments Upon doing a search for the titles in Andrew Lane's Young Sherlock Holmes series that results returned have summaries that are not in English. I've posted a question about something similar to this before and someone responded that those results come up because it is the most popular edition which makes some sense because the original was in German. I'm just wondering why it would be the case for this particular series since it was written in English. Thanks!

The description on the edition should be the language the edition was written in whenever possible.

The popular/default edition doesn't have to do with the description of the individual editions, just what book displays in a search.

Great. That's so much less confusing. Thanks, Amanda!

Jennie (bobcatbrarian) | 4 comments Thanks again, Amanda. I've noticed that the other books in the Young Sherlock Holmes series are still in Serbian. Would you be able to fix those as well?

Thanks!
