Thanks, but no need for it yet. I'll also explore the mentioned gettext route.

To clarify, this involved matching 'exotic formats' on the device with calibre. The device uses the filename as title. However, given calibre appends the author to the filename, it can't be easily matched back to calibre's title. Regex substitution works, but I forgot about localization of 'Unknown'. For now the part is removed, as it's not vital.

This also concerns possible future utils. Not wanting to get stuck at 99%.
