New language column

Hello everyone.
I would like to add to my library a field to store the original language of a book, in the case it's a translation. I would like this field behaves exactly as the Languages field in the basic metadata window.
I searched around and I was not able to find something related.
Could someone help me ?

Thanks a lot
Emanuele

There's no way to add a second builtin laguages like column but you can add a freeform text column and store whatever you like there including languages.
