Unable to add 2 books (same author) with same title but different language to ereader
Today I stumbled on an old phenomenon, which did bother me before, but I was too lazy to ask here whether there exists some simple solution for it:

Of a certain writer I have the same ebook twice: 1 copy in English and 1 copy in German.
Further, the ebook title of both is exactly the same (yes, it happens).
The English version is already on my ereader (Kobo), so when I try to add the German version on the ereader too, calibre indicates that the ebook already exists.
Apparently, calibre checks only for the ebook title (on the device), but seems to not take into account the ebook language to determine the uniqueness of an ebook.

Now, it is quite possible that there is some setting to enable/enforce this ebook uniqueness, but I was not able to find it.
Is there somebody who has a simple solution?
