Bug Description
When preferences are set to "Automerge added books if they already exist in the calibre library" _and_ "Overwrite existing duplicate formats", adding a book in language xx to the library overwrites an existing book file (if same title & author) in language yy.
Two facilitate keeping two different versions of the same book in two different languages, I suggest that Calibre does not consider two books in different languages as "the same book", even if they have the same title & author. When this happens (same title, same author, different language) "Automerge added books" should automatically revert to "Create new record for each duplicate format" (or give the option to do so, adding a duplicate entry), instead of plainly "Overwriting....", even if that is set as the default behavior.
Using Calibre 0.8.21, Windows 7 x64

This is not worth the effort for me personally. If some one else wants to implement it, I will be happy to supply any needed guidance. If so, re-open the ticket and we can discuss it.
