Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

In #3387 someone requested the addition of an translator field which I'm quit a fan of, but then I would go one step further and add the origin language (ex. Witcher: from polish to english by Danusia Stok) and if original translation is the same as the language of the book (so no translation) you could have an OV toggle.

Why would this be helpful?

At first it would be a fitting addition to #3387 and the knowledge if a book is translated or OV gives us readers more context.

Would the OV toggle be for Original Language or Original Version/Text?

I'm thinking of books that have a modernized text. It's not the original version and technically should still count as a translation, even if it's to a more modern version of the same language. But that seems a lot more difficult than just checking if language == original_language

I would love this feature! I have quite a few audiobooks that have been translated from other languages.
