Does it handle languages other than English? I remember trying out some APIs like that for some tasks, and while I managed to find titles in English somewhat successfully, any other languages (be it the original title, or a translation of some fairly well-known book) were basically inaccessible.

I only tested English and Brazilian Portuguese so far, and Brazilian Portuguese worked, with translator information included.

  • You're most likely to run into issues with non-latin languages. Particularly picograms and the associated schemes for how to interpret them in a context sensitive manner. Substring search for example is likely to be broken in my experience.
