There may be some inherent value in keeping that option. But as it's an optional info field, it should be moved down for quicker processing. Most titles are likely to be in english and most individuals will not need to make changes to the field.

I really can't see why one needs a language indicator at all. Can't we tell from a foreign language title that the book is in that language? I can see a value to be able to search for a given language, of course, but when I see the title, I know its either a language I underrstand, and hence know what language it is, or I don't, in which case, it doesn't much matter. Those who do know that language will know. But if you must indicate language with each book, please put it after all other relevant info. Mary
