Martin Doychinov | 2 comments Hi All,
I added a description to the Bulgarian edition of the below book:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
What I did not notice on time was that "This edition is using the default description" which was blank for most. I put it in the BG edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...--) and even though I did not select the "set this as the default description" check-box, it got propagated to all editions that had no description. I tried manually removing the Bulgarian Descritpion from the English edition, but this was reverted immediately after save. What should be done so the description is not considered the "default" one and can be deleted from the other editions? Thanks in advance!


Elizabeth (Alaska) That happens when the default description is blank. There was nothing you did wrong.

I used Google translate to get an English language description from your Bulgarian one and set that to the default. I also made sure that your Bulgarian edition retained your description.

Thank you very much, Elizabeth! I will only make a little addition to the BG one and topic is done (still need to do the same for the 1st part).
