I really appreciate the openness of Comic Vine to non-American comics, but in this perspective the language problem has not really been taken into account.
I think it would be interesting, at the level of the detail of the volumes, to create a specific field for the language of the volume, possibly a field for the original language and one for the translation language.
It would also be interesting to propose a field to indicate the geographical origin of the volume, either the country or the subcontinent.
There should be themes/categories for that.
Just like there are existing themes for "Foreign", "Translated", "Manga" and "Golden/Silver/Bronze/Modern Age" (US) comics. The "Foreign" theme just hasn't always been used in the past. However, it'd be great to define volumes as "French", "Italian", "German" publications.
I'd also love to add foreign solicitations but IIRC I was once told there is some policy that doesn't allow it.
