Hello DaltonST

That looks promising. Let me try.

To point 8.
"[8] For each 'group' returned in the Search Results, add whatever value you would like in the '#translation_group' custom column."

I see space for improvement if plugin, which does the search, automatically set #translation_group to some common value for found correlated books. So for example of Author Michael Crichton with correlated titles Airframe+ all its translated versions, set #translation_group to "Crichton1". Sorting library by translation_group column would sort all translations by their membership.

Nevertheless, thank you for idea.
