Non trivial to implement, and many (most (vast majority)) wouldn't want the extra level of complexity.

If it were to be done, then a mechanism to cater to author pseudonyms would also be nice. I'm thinking of a Calibre-Heavy but I suspect more folks would prefer a Calibre-Lite

Calibre has a Language field, so it does support that.
IMHO Very few people keep multiple versions (I think I have 3 out of 5K. 5 if you count ARC's)
