Pratik,
How about if we have a title like Les Miserabble or Nobless Oblige? We need
to specify language. Sorry to disagree. <smille>

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.

Tracy,
I like your suggestions. 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
