That's a good point, again. I'm not really bothered by this, probably
because I'm used to it, and my collection contains both French and English
books. But I guess it could be done, it's probably mainly a matter of
making the option clear enough.

This is a known problem for some time (at least by me, but I never took
the time to try and find a solution or report it). I might try to have a
look. Hopefully.

I should go back to my work at some point, I think :P
