Can I merge (and keep separate) a book in two different languages
I would like to have one entry for a single book and then when opening it up to be able to choose what language I want. For example English vs German. Is this possible or will I have to keep with two separate entries?

Calibre does have a Language field (in the Tag browser), that would be the Tie-Breaker for a otherwise Duplicate title |

I did find a possible workaround I put (german) in front of the author's name. it doesn't affect the sort but it does help me figure out which language the book is in.

The aesthetic solution instead having a column with 99% English, is to have flag for other languages:

You can search for books in a specific Language: eg Code:
languages:"=English" would be one way to implement it without having the Languages column actually showing itself |
