Rinou | 101 comments Hello
There is an author whose name isn't the same in English and in French.
In English his name is Prince Michael of Greece, as can be seen on this English cover The White Night of St. Petersburg by Prince Michael of Greece
In French his name is Michel de Grece as can be seen on this French cover La femme sacrée by Michel De Grece

He is neither English nor French, even though he grew up in France.

Do his two "personnalities" need to be merge, or would it be better to put the two names on each books, or is there another solution?

We don't do that with profiles when the names are different languages.

The English name should be on all books as primary, with the French name on all French editions.

Here's one already done: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39...
