Hello,

I've been using Calibre for many years with no problems. Generally, I install a few plugins to help lookup metadata and covers from various sites, but otherwise I don't change the settings.

Recently, I re-installed windows and then re-installed Calibre. After getting it set up, I imported a few books and found that it was downloading tags in Chinese (everything else is still in English). Now to be fair, I live in Taiwan, but Calibre has never downloaded tags in Chinese before. I'm not sure how to change it. There does not appear to be a setting anywhere.

I've checked metadata providers - Google is set to US and the others don't provide any specification. I've tried turning off "Tags" in metadata download; no change. I've tried turning off "Tags" for individual metadata providers. No change.

I can't understand why Calibre is suddenly doing this after years of just downloading English tags and metadata.
