You could try searching for "Language: Persian" or just "Persian" in the search bar for this group ("search discussion posts"). There's no way to get notifications about them; you'd just have to come check every so often.
I have done what gem suggests (language is Estonian, though :) ). The result is a bit messy but it indeed works better than getting lost on forum.
I was going to ask the same question (Russian language). The search is working awful. I see a couple new requests, then from 2012, then from 2023. Some from March do not appear on the first 10 pages of the search.Maybe we can come up with something?
I can only think of... to create a thread for each language (when there are volunteers) here and send each other the links to the requests. Comments?
About Persian language...I've been sorting out Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt's books (French writer) and found a lot of editions in Persian that need to be corrected.
For example, these:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
(As far as I understand, there are at least 3 duplicates)
Maybe you'd like to help with this?
(Other books by this author also have Persian editions that need correction)
Thanks, this profile is much neater now. Despite that he is a French author, for many of his works the Persian edition is the most popular. I hope they make it possible to search for requests in a specific language and folder and add "marked as done" button. Then it'll be convenient to post tasks that require knowledge of the language in a "Book Issues" folder.
Is there a way to get notifications about requests in certain language? Say if there is an edit request about a Persian edition, I get notified.
The reason I ask is that there is a Persian gro..."
Don't think so.
It would be best to ask members there to put something like "Need a Farsi speaking librarian" as part of their thread title. & if you do a search in this group I'll bet you will find plenty of work!
