Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

Die ersten Zeitreisen

Hello and welcome again,

I am sorry but I had to reject your submission. What the request would have done would have changed our German record to a Swedish one and it is not what we want - the original is still in German. Instead you need to add a new Collection and then we will connect it to the German one as a variant.

Also - even though it is presented as a novel in Swedish, it will need to be recorded as a collection in the DB, with a note that it is presented as a novel. We have the same situation with Asimov's Foundation which is published as novel almost everywhere - we always record the translations with the type of the original.

Welcome again and let me know if I can help any further. Annie 12:45, 4 October 2019 (EDT)

You can respond to me here on your page. Look at the top of this message, far right. Do you see the Edit link. Press it. It will allow you edit and respond.
We manage translations by variants. So it is a 2 step process. You first add your Swedish book. Then once it is approved, you make its title a variant. I can do that for you now or I can give you an instruction so you can try - just let me know.
So let's take it step by step. Add the Swedish book. I will be around for the next few hours so I an approve immediatelly and work with you on the translation variant. :)

Based on the one you cancelled, a few tips:
  • We record this publisher as "Delta (Stockholm)"
  • When you add the Förord, make the title Förord (Baklänges genom tiden )
  • You do not need to add the series - it will show up when we connect to the original.
And do not worry. If you make a mistake, we can fix it post-approval :) So try :) Annie 19:59, 4 October 2019 (EDT)
