Agnė | 24 comments Hi! There are two profiles for the same author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I want to combine those two books that are in those profiles but I can't since they are in different profiles. How can I combine books and maybe combine profiles?

We do not merge author names in different languages. Please see: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... (See: Authors published in multiple languages)
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. Different editions of a book not having the same primary author can cause quite a few distinct problems. Please keep the primary author for all editions of a work the same.

There are also a few editions of the same book "Instrucciones para robar supermercados". Thanks!

I have merged two of the names and combined the books but I have left this one alone as I cannot read what the cover of the book says:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Scott | 8952 comments Can't see a name on that one at all, so I put it under his full name.

Ruri | 11 comments thank you! I've merged only the authors, as I've found one more, I've deleted my message!
