I would like to add a book and it has two ISBN-10 numbers. Which one should I add? Is it possible to add two ISBN-10 numbers?

Different editions will have different isbn numbers. You'd add each as a separate book, then combine them.
OK, but it's a single edition, it is physically the same book. On the page with all the informations (cover, translator, editor) they've printed two ISBN-10 and I don't know which one to choose. Why should I add this as two editions if it's the same edition?
I misunderstood. Sometimes they'll list isbn's for other editions on the copyright page, but without seeing it, I can't tell...Is there an isbn-13?
ISBN 13 should start 978 on a hard copy of a book. If the EAN starts like that it is probably the ISBN13 :)
