Description

From a patron:
"There doesn't seem to be a means of correcting a book to be a known translation without knowing the specific language translated from. Though saving the editing form with translation radial set to "yes" the item is a translation, but without selecting the origin work or language the form does not provide the ability to indicate the edition is a translation with unknown language or derivative work even though the work is a translation. While incomplete, this is more accurate than stating the work is not a translation as it currently defaults in this situation."
