Can someone tell me if the above mentioned person is a bot?
Asked a question but got no answer. Changes are made to the descriptions of the items and then specifically to the type of book. However, the changes are not improvements. First empty the description pocket and then fill in pocket again
is pretty pointless in my opinion.

The question concerns the LastDodo auto reviewer, seems to be a moderator who changes my changes again and I find unnecessary. It is always about books dear Collector.

Sincerely

Give us an item number, so we can see exactly what you mean by unnecessary changes.
By the way, the LastDodo autoreviewer is not an administrator. We use this if, for example, something is adjusted by the system.

eg. 9301415

Strange, never seen that a field is automatically filled in.
Apparently this Book Type: Pocket has been recently modified and replaced everywhere.
The translations leave something to be desired. In French it is called "Livre de poche", German "Taschenbuch", English "Pocket edition".

As an aside: an item like this is not allowed in the catalog according to the Handbook (art. 1.4).
#9301415 is identical to #1430805 , apart from a pasted sticker.
The rules also apply to ProfessorDoctorIngenieurs ;-)

This has to do with the fact that the field "Tyoe book" has been converted to a manageable field.

I knew there had to be a logical explanation. That applies to all Types, I assume.

In German there is now a Taschenbuch mit Schutzumschlag (Paperback with dust jacket) and a Taschenbuch mit Schutzumschlag (Pocket with dust jacket).
Also in French: Livre broché avec jaquette and Broché avec jaquette .
And in English: Paperback book with dust jacket and Paperback with dust jacket .

Not so handy.

Nothing has been changed in the translation, there were already those before.
Please suggest better alternative translations, that can be changed.

I had never noticed before. Does the change therefore unintentionally also have another positive effect.

For Pocket I had already made some suggestions above. I'll think about the rest when I have a little more time.
Should we start the discussion again about the difference between paperback and paperback?

Which German translation for Paperback with dust jacket and Pocket with dust jacket do you suggest?
I'll leave the discussion about Pocket and Paperback to the experts, because for me this is a discussion about the format of a book. But there are undoubtedly other opinions on that.

The two questions are related. Abroad, no real distinction is made between paperback, paperback, softcover, softcover, and hardcover. Before you come up with forced translations, it should actually be determined whether the current Typing format is sufficient, also for international use.

Ideally that discussion would involve non Dutch speaking book collectors.

There have already been several discussions about Pocket and Paperback.
- Difference pocket and paperback
- Difference between pocket and paperback
- Laterally also a similar discussion at Comics: Graphic novel and Trade paperback

The great thing about the "Book Type" field being manageable is that super administrators can now also merge types and/or create new types.
Very practical consideration must also be given to this in view of the other language versions. It is impossible to distinguish between a paperback and a paperback in NL only.

Why do we have to give up how we think about certain things in the Netherlands? Just a little while and we can't celebrate Sinterklaas anymore...

Because LastDodo is an international catalog.
Plus that in other language versions you get what stripspeldjes also indicated: Two the same values that mean the same in English for example and are different in NL.
