Amirmasoud | 25 comments Hello everyone. I am about to add a new record for a book which is in fact a translation of two books, by two authors! That's weird. How should I do it?
I guess I should create a new book and add the name of the two translators as editors, and the name of the two authors of the original books as authors maybe? And what about the combination?! Should I combine it to the original books? Or is it considered a totally new book?

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments The title: Book1 / Book2
Authors: Author1, Author2, Translator1 (Translator), Translator2 (Translator)

Only books with the same content should be combined. If this 2 in 1 book exist only in translation, it should stand alone.
