[Metadata Source Plugin] Fantastic Fiction

[kiwidude]

Hi feuille, thanks for replying. Perhaps I didn't phrase my question well. I know FF only has the english version of books, no issue there. However my question was is it likely that lets say a German or Spanish user of calibre, who has only their native language translation copy of the book (i.e. non english) would be using the Fantastic Fiction metadata plugin and able to get a match? They might have a mix of english and non-english books in their library and likely not diligent about disabling the FF metadata plugin when getting data for the non-english ones.

Because the problem is that if I force the metadata for the book to be english, that will impact what calibre thinks that copy of the book is. Which to me sounds like a really bad thing to be doing.

Maybe this situation cannot happen in reality. Will a foreign language translation of a book always have a different (non english) name, so FF could not match the book. Certainly I would expect it to have different identifiers like ISBN, assuming it is not incorrectly recorded for that book.

I just don't want to make the change and then have x amount of users complaining about how their libraries are now corrupted...
