How to download Dutch and Italian Metadata
Downloading metada is no problem for my English books. However, I can't seem to find any metadata for my Dutch and Italian books. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but could anyone help me in setting up Calibre so that I can do this?

Thanks for your help.

There are no dedicated metadata download plugins for those languages. Amazon should return metadata based on ISBN in the language of the book but often they have it in English instad of the books native language.

Note that I am currently refactoring the metadata download system and one of the new features it will have is the ability to specify a language for the amazon plugin

I look forward to that one!

@dwanthny, thanks for pointing me in that direction.

For the moment I'll try with amazon.it for Italian to see if I can get that working. For Dutch though, there's no specific Amazon. Anyone having a suggestion what could be used as an alternative?
