books in Chinese

I've read quite a few books (novels) in Chinese. How can I list them in "Your Library" ? And who else out there also reads in Chinese?

I've got a few books in Mandarin in my library. Those that were published in other counties (dictionaries etc) can be entered using ISBN, however I was also unable to enter those published in China. I don't even have Han Zi Shou Ru (the way to enter Chinese characters) on my computer.

I've had to put mine in manually. It turns out the system can handle characters, but they don't work for searches, so it's best to put the title in both characters and pinyin (or your choice of romanisation). I would enter them by ISBN, but none of the ISBNs of my Chinese books are recognised by any of the libraries I've searched with (even my university library which I know has a couple of them).

As WillSteed says, Chinese books have to be input manually.

However, that doesn't mean you have to type everything. If you type the Chinese ISBN into the Google search box, you will find many Chinese online bookstores.

Here you can copy all information you need in Chinese characters + download a cover image which can be used in LT.

For notation, facilitating search and for other LT users' understanding as well as distinguising between Chinese authors with names that sound the same in Pinyin, I use the following notation:

Original title (Chinese) Translated Title

Author name (Hanyu Pinyin) Author name Simplified Chinese Characters
