Why only "Polish Books"?
Dear Kovid,
This is regarding the "Polish Books" feature in Calibre. While I have nothing against our European brethren, I do think you're ignoring the main user base of Calibre by not bringing out a corresponding "English Books" feature. Here's hoping for a speedy resolution!

Oh you wit, you.
 So, was there any reason for this thread other than pure, unmitigated spam? |

For every Polish user that is stubborn enough to keep using Calibre in the English version, multiple Indian users have to suffer the sight of the "Polish books" feature.
 Greetings from Poland

If you have a problem with the current non-English translation of a pretty ordinary English word, either complain to the people who are in charge of the English language, or follow the very simple directions here: http://calibre-ebook.com/get-involved
... Or just keep spamming the forums with insinuations, misrepresenting your complaint in a technical forum, flat-out ignoring the real and known solution, writing misleading thread titles, promulgating clickbait... tl;dr How To Ask Questions The Smart Way |

But I see no reason to put up with very unfunny jokes. We have a lounge for that, you know. ... And as I said, there are so many reasons this thread was pointless it is hard to count them all... beginning with the fact that, once again, the appropriate solution was to fix the translations in Transifex. (What do you call a thread that is a complete red herring, started for no reason whatsoever other than to impress people with your sense of humor, masquerading as a frivolous and nonsensical question, masquerading as a serious question asked with a bad sense of humor, masquerading as a serious question asked in a humorous way?) Your humor was flat, out of place, and on top of that distracting in a technical forum (yes, there are common-sense guidelines for how to do humorous remarks in a way that still manages to communicate your issue in an effective way). tl;dr My elitist sense of humor thinks your sense of humor smells of months-old fish.
