How to request a book to be added says,
"If the book is in a language other than English, please also specify its language"
so librarians can use the language name as search term. I looked at the request. The requester didn't do that.
We have a language and translations folder. Currently there are a lot of requests for description changes, but it is also the place where a requests can be made for help with a specific language. If only the date would be the issue, I would suggest adding it with the date field empty and add the provided date to the description field.
LJ, yes, in the topic itself.But now that you mention it, you must put the name of your book in the title. Everyone writes instead: please add this book (or variations).
I didn't know that librarians used the language name as search term? I'm working from August up and see what isn't add.
Renske, oké that's also usefull. But this language is not for me. LOL.
Sadly I can't read nothing from it en the publication date is also wrong. (not-gregorian) Is it possible to bring such request to people who can handle this? Because this request is from 18 aug.
I have already added many books in Finnish, I can't understand it either but with DeepL translator I can manage it. So I think many librarian skip this language also.
For example, we could create a folder (visible only to librarians) in which we could bring such request to the attention of people who speak the language. Just wondering...
