Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments These translated editions of the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini can't be combined with the original because the translator (I'm assuming) is in the primary author spot.

I can't correct it because I don't have those characters on my keyboard.

Can anyone help?

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 316 comments I was going to help, but wow... the Japanese and Simplified-Chinese-looking stuff...

If it were Korean, I could help, but I am completely unfamiliar with Japanese! GOOD LUCK!


This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments You can do it with just copy-paste.


This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments The more important question is whether the author you link to (クリストファー パオリーニ ) is the translator is a transliteration of Christopher Paolini.


This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments I dumped the characters into a translator and it came back as "kurisutohuapaorini". Therefore, all we have to do is change the name of the author...


This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments One more thing...I don't think these can be directly combined because it appears that they published these as half volumes in Japan, rather than full volumes. Thus the Japanese #1 is only half of the English #1, while the Japanese #2 is the second half of the English #1, etc. Please be careful about checking these before combining.

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments I did figure out the volume thing already, thanks, so those won't be combining into the main volumes.

So, I should go ahead and change the name to Christopher Paolini then?

Thanks for your help!
