Book split in two for translated edition

Each part should be added as a new book. You can add "Mossflower, part 1" and "Mossflower, part 2" in the original title field at the bottom of the page where you add the Swedish editions.Books published in parts should not be combined with the complete book.
How would you recommend adding them as a series. Should I mark both Mossflowers as part 2 in the Redwall series, or do I create a new series order were Mossflower 1 becomes Redwall pt 2 and Mossflower 2 becomes Redwall pt 3?
Sometimes books published in parts are added at the bottom of the series, with either "book 1, part 1" of "book 1A" as numbering.Example: https://www.goodreads.com/series/6409...
Sometimes, especially when all books are published in two parts in one or more languages and the series has a different numbering compared to the original series, a separate series page can be created.
Example:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/4394...
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2180...
In your case, when only two books of a multi book series were published in parts, it would be confusing to create a new series page.
A new series can be made with the Swedish numbering (and link in the description to the other series). Or the books can be added as 2a and 2b to the current series (and should be made non-primary).I have seen both in other series.
I have created a new book and used the 1Q84 as the model, but I can't seem to get the series to show up as a series: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Thank you all for your help! I think I finally got it now!
The Swedish version of Mossflower (Redwall part 2) has been divided up into two books. Mossblomma 1 and Mossblomma 2. How would I go about adding these? The same issue goes for Redwall part 3 which has also been divided into two for the translation.
