adding book description

[Andrea]

Hi!
I have read the Manual and - if I have understood it properly - when I add /edit book info in the description field I must use the very same language the book is written in. Am I right? If so, can I change or edit the content in the description field of books that other librarians created when it doesn't match with the language of the book itself? Thanks!

That should be fine.

Thanks!

and one more question, but this time it is about authors' foreign names spelling. Do you think librarians should stick to the original spelling of the names or should turn them into English spelling?

On English translations, use the English spelling. On the original foreign language editions, list the English spelling as primary author (so the editions can be combined), and the foreign language spelling as the second author.
