Can not assign book to my (default in Calibre) language

[laji]

Dragging a book, I can assign it to any language - except of hungarian. And in "edit metadata" window (both type), filling the language field, typing "magyar" (hungarian) manually, the autocomplete function does not work. It works with other languages. Using the scrollbar, hungarian seems, of course.

What may be the cause? Is it depending on the language of Calibre's user interface?

Maybe a UI Language

In the en-US UI

I used the pulldown (arrow): Hungarian,

If the interface language is English, then the Language offered for books is Hungarian - the language codes and names are defined in the Dublin Core standards, with which calibre is compliant. I'm not sure if it changes if the interface language is Hungarian - my guess is that it would not..

BetterRed, theducks - thank you for your response.

I forgot, but now tried: changed UI language to english. Language tasks work well, assign to hungarian or to english, too, autocomplete too. So the probleme is, only, when the UI language is hungarian. So...

Changing UI language to russian: assign by dragging does not work for ANY language. But autocomplete works, with russian too. But, in this case may have importance a character set, too - russian's is cyrillic, while my computer uses (wrong called...) "latin" letters. So...

Trying italian: same, as with russian.

Trying again, with hungarian, more deeply: same, as russian - no one language assign works! Except of "latin". And, in the list of used languages this is the only one, what is same in english and hungarian: "latin". All others are different (magyar - hungarian, angol - english, orosz - russian, and so on). So, the error is in the internal solution of localization. (Not in translation, simply!)

About autocomplete only, in languages field: I set completion_mode to "contains". If set it back, to default "prefix" - autocomplete works! But, first, it is not a solution, because this parameter better to be "contains"; second: in russian autocompleting works well at completion_mode = 'contains', too. Total confusing with autocompleting...

May I ask you, to try in your Calibre, to change language to Hungarian and some others, and check the phenomen, written above?

At me: Win7×64, nearly last Java (8.51). (Calibre uses Java, does not it?)

No - most of calibre is written in Python with some libraries in C/C++ (I think). The Python "run time' (and everything else) is packaged within the calibre install.

I can't test anything because I'm 300km from my test machine
