Hey there,
When our patrons look for a book in our catalog, they often need to search for both the title in the original language and the translated title so they can find the book they are looking for. We have both translated and untranslated books, and patrons can't guess which one is on our catalog, so this means that if they search for the wrong title they won't find it. Patrons must resort to trying to search for both of them.
It would be amazing if LibraryCat could include a field in the detail page with the original title (to us, that'd be more useful than "original language"), so that searches for the original title could also retrieve translations. Since your search engine already has the option to use all fields (which we have enabled), adding this field to the detail page would also enable it to be found.
Thanks in advance.

LT has a CK field for original title. You can include the other title in your comments field.

>2 MarthaJeanne: Yes, a workaround, but a manual one. I guess this is a feature request to leverage that CK field automatically instead of having to copy it on a single book basis to the comment field. Thank you for your suggestion anyway!
