Hi there,

There is a translator listed on this work: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This person did not translate the English edition of the book, but the German Der PapierMagier, where she is already listed.* Could you please remove her name?

Thanks!

I'd like to make a general request to librarians to please ONLY merge editions into their duplicates (whenever possible*), especially if they have secondary authors.

It is very confusing if translators are moved to the original edition, or illustrators belonging to a certain edition end up on a completely different one.

This glitch was reported to GR years ago, but it is apparently still an issue.

*and if not possible, to first remove the secondary authors
