Canada here
Winnie shows <dc:language>en</dc:language> I downloaded a French language book (from our lovely free book choices) and I get this <dc:language xsi:type="dcterms:RFC4646">fr</dc:language> However, the iBooks dictionary fails for this language.... |

If so, does anyone know if itunes will automatically pick these up (assuming I have itunes pointed to my calibre library). I was going to go though the effort of organizing my bookshelf, but if this is going to cause all the books to get 're-added' to ibooks and bugger up the sorting, I'd rather wait. |

Did a bit of testing. Changed the language to en in one of my books. Itunes would not pick it up unless I first deleted it from itunes and then re-added. So I will wait until there is the Calibre update before I organize my bookshelf.
On the plus side the dictionary works now. |

What I'd like to see in Calibre is a "Set Dictionary" option that also can be batched. That way you can set the dictionary to whatever language is required without re-converting the epub.

It wouldn't be a matter of re-converting the ePub - just changing the value of the language field in the metadata.

Can I do that using Calibre 7.4? If so, what is the procedure?

All I'd want is the simple metadata change like you said. |

All my ePubs are converted from MobiPocket files that do contain a valid "language" metadata field in the OPF. It's a little puzzling why Calibre appears to be throwing this away during conversion to ePub. |

What process did you use to add the field?

I've reported this issue in the Calibre forum, and Kovid has kindly agreed to take a look at it.

Could anybody please describe how you edit the dc:language bit when you have an epub file that calibre made?

2. You can then open the file using winzip (or whatever). 3. Look for a file with a .opf extension. 4. Open this file in notepad and look for the tag name <dc:language> 5. Change the value between these tags to en. so should look like: <dc:language>en</dc:language> 6. save the .opf file and make sure the zip library gets updated with the updated file. 7. change the extension back to .epub 8. Delete the existing book from itunes and sync. 9. Add the changed file to itunes and sync. should be good now. |
