Language in book jacket... or as metadata?

[enriquep]

Hello, everyone

I am trying to find a way to include "language" in the book jacket that can be created with Calibre by polishing. Or, alternatively (and probably better) to automatically consider the book's "language" as an additional tag and send it to my (Sony T3) reader.

Of course, I can add language as a manual tag to all books, but can anybody think of an automatic way to do something similar?

Thanks in advance and greetings from sunny Spain,
-Enrique

Use the Plugboard to slip in the {languages} field into the Title on send to device
{title} ({languages})

Thank you, that was great!

I had been exploring many other possibilities - a lot more complex that your proposal, and that didn't work as expected. Your suggestion worked perfectly, and gives me what I want.

I already had a template:
{title}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s}

Now it is
{title}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s} .{languages}
and I get what I want.

Thanks again, theducks!

Thank Kovid for all the flexibility he built in that allows simple solutions

@enriquep If you also want to include language (or any other columns, including your own) in the book jacket, see this post from DoctorOhh ==>> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...36&postcount=5
