[mlady_rebecca]

Thanks, Elly.

James Herriot needs German help.

[Ubik]

Thanks mlady_rebecca. I have no way of knowing what author I was originally looking at so that was a waste of post [sadface:]

[Lisi]

If someone could help me, this would be really good.
These two links are exactly the same book just different editions I guess, but I can't combine it, I don't know why it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help.

This book is (apparently) a polish translation of a Nora Roberts book. If anyone can tell me what book it is a translation of, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

[Vitali]

I think it is a translation of "For Now, Forever " (McGregors)

Thanks, vitalinew! Looking at that page you linked, I think it's actually the MacGregors:Daniel & Ian anthology.

Ingvar Ambjørnsen needs help (Norwegian, German)

[Cait]

Can anyone tell if these two authors are the same and should be combined? ريموند كارور، هاروكي موراكامي، جومپا لاهیری، شرمان آل and ريموند كارور، هاروكي موراكامي، جومپا لاهیری، شرمان آل

My browser's fonts are completely failing to differentiate between these two names, nor do I know if they're a transliteration of a roman-alphabet author's name, the name of a non-roman-alphabet (Farsi?) author/editor's name, or some editorial board (given that each author has one compilation book), I'm afraid....

[rivka, Former Moderator]

I copy-pasted both into Word, and they look identical. But maybe one of our Farsi-speakers can be more definitive.

They are one and the same (compare from the 8th byte on).

*laugh* Thanks. But you haven't answered the second part of Cait's question -- what does it say?

[Cait]

Is someone working on those books I just linked to? Because I came back to say I'd found another edition of the book and they seem to have disappeared -- and also, the two secondary authors still showing in the cache (Sherman Alexie and Haruki Murakami) are throwing "unexpected error" pages when I try to open their book lists.

[Novin]

actually I tried to edit those books, but I came across the unexpected error as well...

[Sherry]

Can someone who speaks German help with this author?Sandra Brown

Thanks.

I´ll try... but most of the books which are not combined are out of print and I will have to research so it may take some time...

[jenjn79]

I'm working on the Sandra Brown German titles...I found a great site a while back for romance authors and some others that has German titles and the original English title

[jenjn79]

I combined the Sandra Brown German translations. There's a few other translations that need to be combined, though. I think they might be Portuguese, not sure, and there's once I don't know what language it is.

[an.]

When it comes to the Sandra Brown book you didn't know, I suppose you ment the misspelled title of Polish translation. That one was combined, too.

[jenjn79]

Ah, so it was Polish...that was my best guess on language, but it was a process of elimination guess. Thanks for combining it!

Gioconda Belli could use some combining by someone who speaks Spanish (the original publication language) and German (the language of several untranslated editions).

[Inara]

Cait wrote: "Gioconda Belli could use some combining by someone who speaks Spanish (the original publication language) and German (the language of several untranslated editions)."
I combined the german books which where possible to combine, the rest are either poems from different works or I didn´t find an English edition...

[mlady_rebecca]

Henry David Thoreau has Kindle editions of "Walking" with various attached thesauruses. For example, here is the Arabic edition. I quick glance shows at least 15 variations.

Can these be combined? The actual source material is in English and is identical. It's only the supplementary thesaurus that differs.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

I would say yes. They're much like another book having an index or glossary.

[mlady_rebecca]

Thanks, Rivka. That's what I thought.

[Cait]

Can anyone check up on these two German books attributed to Stephen Lawhead:

Reiseführer in eine neue Zeit and Timmy Stockente bekommt seine Chance.

All of the other Stephen Lawheads I've found were actually Stephen R. Lawhead, so I suspect that these are too....

[Inara]

I combined Timmy Stockente, Annabell Igel and Der Traumdieb. "Reiseführer in eine neue Zeit" seems to be "Pilgrim´s Guide to the New Age" but I didn´t find this book so maybe it isn´t listed

Inara wrote: "I combined Timmy Stockente, Annabell Igel and Der Traumdieb. "Reiseführer in eine neue Zeit" seems to be "Pilgrim´s Guide to the New Age" but I didn´t find this book so maybe it isn´t listed"

Ah-hah, thank you! Pilgrim's Guide has Stephen R. Lawhead as the second author in English. So that's set!

[Geediez]

I'm new here so don't know if anyone has encountered those problems before, if yes then I'm sorry to bother reading it all again. Anyway, the first one is about a Ukrainian marriage of Marina and Siergiej Diachenko. We have two seperate id's for them at goodreads:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The thing is that in Poland all books are being released like the first id (so Marina and Siergiej both as a author's name). Yet here, we have two separate id's for them and I'm not quite sure if I should combine them into one author or not.

Second question is about anthologies. Who should I put as a first author of the book if it consists of, let's say 5-6 authors? An anthology editor? What if none is specified?

Cheers and I hope you'll guide me here.

[Cait]

Geediez, more people will read this if you start a new thread for this in the "Questions" folder, because this thread is for combining translated editions of books with each other. Would you mind reposting? These are questions that have been asked before, but they're complicated answers and it would be good for more people to see the discussion.

Some help given. I'm not all that familiar with his works, so if there's more to be done let me know.

[Vitali]

Thank you!

Fyodor Dostoevsky has many titles that I believe to be Russian, Farsi and/or Arabic that should ideally be combined with the other titles. He has a huge list of editions, thus the combination page takes quite a while to reload, so have patience. [Link to combination page.]

Done! But I can´t combine "Das Pony-Trio. Sammelband" because there are several different books of this series combined into one book.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Thanks. :)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Another one for Inara or our other German speakers.

I combined the Sandra Brown German translations. (...) I think they might be Portuguese, not sure,(...)

This one is Obsessão I don't know the original book but I guess is The Crush.

The description of Obsessão states smth like: "The phone rings at the house of Lee Howell a surgeon, after a party. Due to a serious trafic accident, his presence is requested at the Fort Worth General Hospital".

Somebody identifies this ???

Sztuka Podstepu

Thanks!

Daniel Silva could use some work on combining German(?) editions. Maybe also a Spanish edition or two, and I think there's a French one too.
