I would appreciate such a language symbol and additionally some kind of "filter" which one could use to filter ebooks in a specific language. Maybe just a new combo-box in the "Show thread header section" as shown in the attached picture?

A language selector in a search mask for uploaded books - a great idea! Please release it.

Or something similar.. e.g. a sub-forum for "main"-Languages each...

I also agree that we need a way to filter languages in the uploaded books.

And I don't see a problem of multi-language books.

An Icon for a language for a single-language book and
a "multi" icon for those with mor than one.

So what does the MR-Team think about Multilanguage-support? Any chance that we will get a language indicator and/or a language selector/filter?

we are currently discussing ways to restructure the ebook uploads forum to make the whole process better ; it's a big job with a lot to take into consideration, and alex has a very long to-do list, so it won't happen tomorrow but we *are* working on it and language support is definitely on the list. thanks for your feedback.

This is good news. Thank you for the update.

you are welcome.

while you're waiting, don't forget to use the TAGS for specifying language ; you can't filter by tag but you can do a tag search. i think most of the non-english books have been tagged (français, french, deutsch, german, etc.) and if you find a book that has NOT been tagged, please add the tag yourself ! (add the name of the language, in english and in the original language. if you have a doubt about the spelling, type just the first few letters, and the tag box will propose options of existing tags that match).

Would it be feasible to have a separate section for books posted in other languages, similar to the books posted in the Misc formats section? Although I'm sure it's not the case, lately it seems the number of German books being added is greater than the number of English books being added, resulting in a lot of scrolling to skip past the non-English titles.

This is not intended as a complaint; it's just something I've noticed lately. But I VERY much appreciate all the effort to post so many outstanding books, many of which I would have never heard of had it not been for MR. Keep up the great work!

Thanks to all.
