Metadata Source Plugins - list the language please

Hello,

For new and older users of Calibre who are scrolling down the plugins and see that there are many different metadata sources - it would be extremely helpful if in the description you indicated the language of the books for that particular site.

Also, if there was an option to click on a link to take you directly to the site so a user can get an idea of the types of books and metadata they can expect - I know they can manually type in the site name by looking at it in the plugin list, but being able to click a link -

so for example :INMONDADORI - while it's obviously a non-english language metadata source, it doesn't indicate what language it is - nor can you click on any link to see the site. You are unable to copy and paste the website name from the plugin list and honestly, it took me some time to type it out manually from going back and forth - I am not neuro-typical.

So, if there is any possibility of putting the language of the metadata source in the description and a link to the site in the description (if that's even possible) or if not, then a link on the homepage of the plugin?

I know many plugins do this already, but some don't and even if it's a language I won't be interested in getting metadata from - it would be nice to check out the site.

plugin authors are free to put whatever they want in the description. This isnt in calibre's control. What I can do is try to detect URLs in the description and make them clickable. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...f4846989d4834d
