LexyS | 43 comments Is there a possibility when different language editions of a book are combined, to set which title is shown... i think, it would make sense to show the title in the original language. It's really irritating when it shows a language, in which the book was just translated once...

LexyS | 43 comments thanks...

that's a weird default, because mostly the "most popular" is one that is in a language with only one edition because the other languages split in many editions...

LexyS | 43 comments no, i am talking about a LOT of (mostly german) books with weird choices of language... (chinese, russian, estonian, etc)


Elizabeth (Alaska) How are you sorting that?

LexyS | 43 comments I am translating the summary and compare which book of the other has the same story/characters... mostly... or i search in the edition's language for webpages that tell the original title... if that doesn't work either i have some more tricks to try... it's mostly hard research...
