Description
On the edit page of work, where it asks whether the edition is a translation it asks "What language was the original written in?", but in edition details it is rendered as "translated from (language)"
We should settle on what to put in this field and change wording. I am personally in favour of "translated from" option because books aren't always translated from the original language. Also, I don't see sense in having "What language was the original written in?" on edition level. It should be on work level as it is the same for all editions
