Emelie | 36 comments Hi!

I'm trying to combine a translated book with the original. The translation and the original title isn't the same, so they don't end up near each other. The wording is not similar, so you can't filter the words. I've been trying to tick the books, but as they are on different pages (the first one is one page 1 of all the books the author has, the other is on page 2 of the book listing) how do I do then?
Summary: Tile 1 is on first page, title 2 is on second page, therefore I don't know how to combine them as using filter words doesn't work with these titles.

I hope I managed to describe it good enough!

The the titles are:

Thanks!

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments What I did (even though I'm not sure if it's recommended or not) is rename the title of the translated book to "Same as English version: Translated title here", so with this example it became "The year without Christmas: Julfesten" (without the quotes obviously), then I combined them and finally fixed the title back to the original. There might be an easier way, but I don't know it.
