I really hate having to change the UI language and restarting Calibre each time I process a non-English book just to make sure that the mobi file is encoded with the correct language.
There must be an easier way to do this with Calibre.
With the latest Calibre releases you can set the language in the Edit Metadata dialog. If you are doing that and it is not making it into the converted file I would think that it is a bug.
