Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the default language in book searching can be set instance wide, but different users may want to have different default languages.

Describe the solution you'd like Users should be able to set a language that will be preferred when searching for books. Maybe several languages instead (e.g. 1: Spanish; 2: Portuguese; 3: English).
