User	Thread poster: Cuiviewen Should cataloguing details be translated?
Cuiviewen   Argentina Local time: 14:25 English to Spanish + ...	Feb 7 Hi everyone! I've been sent a manuscript to translate, only including the extracts of a book the author expects me to translate. Surprisingly, he included the cataloguing details of the book that appear in the copyright page (similar to the index card they would keep at a library, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about!). My first reaction was to tell him that it should not be translated, but before doing so I thought it wouldn't hurt to check with you guys. What do you think? Thanks!   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated. Please add any additional comments or explanation (optional)

Cuiviewen   Argentina Local time: 14:25 English to Spanish + ... TOPIC STARTER	Cataloguing details Feb 8 Cataloguing details appear in the bottom half of the copyright page. Here's an example: http://www.tileyourworld.com/images/book%20samples%20006.jpg It's similar to a library index card.

These Details Come After the Translation Process Feb 8 If you are still translating the manuscript how can you possibly know the book ISBN number or the other details (CIP catalogue record; printer's details; cover information)? The 'All rights reserved' part is a set phrase, which I believe might differ slightly from publisher to publisher. I would inform the author accordingly.
