edit language as metatag, show as column
Dear Calibre users,
I just started to use Calibre with my new Kindle and the program is just perfect for management, conversion and keeping metatags clean. However, there is a small irritation that does not let me sleep. I realised, the metatag "language" can be written only by using ebook-meta.exe. (am I right?) I am missing a "langauge" tag in the metadata dialog box for editing (keyboard e). Currently, I have a hundred of books that would need to change their metatag language from default English to German (de). I found the only way to do so: Open the folder of the book (o), copy the filename and the folder name and paste it into a command-line window were the "ebook-meta.exe --la de" command is waiting. This is cumbersome. I could not find a way how to display the path of an entry as a column. That would make copying the path/filename much easier. Thus editing the language metatag quicker. Does anybody solved a similar problem, please? Thank you for you time reading and answering me. |

Once it is active, Selecting Multiple books and tapping "E" will bring up the Bulk-edit screen. The same applies with a custom Column, but you need to switch to the Custom-metadata tab. |

From what I remember, Calibre defaults to writing the language tag of the current UI language.
