Since you are a GR author, librarians can't do anything to your profile, you should ask support.Regarding the Arabic/English name, please refer to this article in the Librarian Manual:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...
Especially this extract:
Regarding author pseudonyms or pen names - some authors write or have written under multiple names. When editing or adding information for a book written by an author with multiple names, enter the author's name as on the front cover as the primary author. The author's other names may be added in the other author fields. Original name or other pen names can added and linked via a Librarian Note: in the description field, or using the Librarian Note feature located above the Title field. In some cases, a book may be originally published under a pen name, but then later reissued under the author's original name. When this happens, the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under - so the reissued edition would need its primary author name changed to the originally published pen name, with the additional name added as secondary for all editions with it on the cover. Doing this will allow the various editions to be combined.
Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author.
Since you seem to write only in Arabic and use your Arabic name, you should keep your Arabic name on GR.
If your works are translated in English in the futur, than you should have both an Arabic and English profile, with your English name as the primary author.
hmmmm .. i understand thanks any way :)
