Johan Nilsson | 22 comments Pulling back hundreds of books in various languages when retrieving and authors books isn't very helpful. Any way to filter this based on language or country?

Andrea Samorini (andreasamorini) hi,
I’ve implemented this utility, you can try to see if it meets your needs

Rich Henderson (quikeagle) | 1 comments I couldn't figure out how to use this. I can make it "work" in my browser, but when I change the language to Spanish and search my "To Read" shelf, it shows me 553 out of 884 books in English. I currently have 214 Spanish books on a "Spanish" shelf, but it will only choose "To Read" or "Read" shelves. What I really want to do is on "My Books" page, have a column that shows "Edition Language" pulled from book details. As a librarian, I try to correct such things when I become aware of them. Many Spanish books are not identified as Spanish in the "Edition Language" field, or are falsely identified as "English". So is there any way to just see an "Edition Language" column (like "Number of Pages") so I can see if the edition language of a book on my shelf is correct?
