When a book series is published in multiple languages should the be list displayed with languages inter-mingled as seen in the case of this series? Or separated?

I haven't seen it laid out like that before, but it makes sense for a smaller series with only a few languages.
If the books are the same content and combined, the books should be intermingled. Only if the books are arranged differently, say 1 book is split into 2 in a different language, would a new series be made and a link should be added to the series description.
Really no need to add the books to the series description as above, but I don't see it as a problem and could be useful to some.
