Default book language to be saved in content.opf?
Is there a way to setup calibre so it puts a selected default language in the content.opf file of ePUB?
Currently it's always: Code:
<dc:language>UND</dc:language> |

Are there devices that support hyhenation? While there isn't currently an option to set language in the GUI, you can set it via the command line tool ebook-convert (the --language) option.
The GUI option is waiting for general support for a language field in the database. |

Yup, at least my eClicto (rebranded Netronix EB600) supports it.
Here's a test (file 1 generated with calibre 0.6.37, second one is first one verbatim copy, except the dc:language in content.opf manually changed): With Code:
<dc:language>UND</dc:language> With Code:
<dc:language>pl-PL</dc:language> Having all the GUI options for that (setting the default language of book, changing each book's language, etc.) would be awesome. |

That's understoodable. And a great news! Thank you very much for all your work on calibre, Kovid!

Hi,
I discovered, that Calibre uses the GUI language to set the default language of a converted book. Normally I read german books, but sometimes I also read english books. (OK, not so often, like you can see at my grammatics ). If I want to convert an english book, I always have to set the GUI language to english and restart Calibre, to keep the default book language. After the conversion, I have to set the language and restart again. Is there a shorter way without restart? Maybe in the future? Bratzzo |

Support for per book language settings is on the TODO list.
