I would like to add some additional entries to the "Language:" drop down on the "Edit Metadata" dialog. I have become interested in eBooks translated from other languages to English and want to store the metadata that would reflect that in the Calibre database.

I've been searching for the best/correct method to add some additional entries for English like "English; Translated (French)" or "English; Translated (German)".
You will need a custom column
Languages is for a single Language (the primary document language)

Various metadata rules (see various tweaks) depend on this value.
