same book- different titles

Do we combine a book that is unabridged- but re-released with a new title?

Example: https://www.librarything.com/author/sowersphyllisayer

The Good & Beautiful Library has re-released a work titled Foo & Ching; However, its original title was Lin Fo & Lin Ching: A Boy & Girl of China

Assuming that there is no change in the contents, they should be combined.

In the Common Knowledge fields, one would put Lin Foo and Lin Ching: a boy and girl of China, and the new title under "Alternative Titles"

Yes. If it is the same book, it does not matter what language* or title it has, it gets combined.

* With a minor exception for dead languages.
