Dear comrades, it works actually as described by ppint. Take a look at "George Simenon" and you'll find several Maigret titles linked "magically" by their original titles, even if there are only German and English language versions on the DB yet. (I took the liberty of modding those UK editions present at the time accordingly, as obviously the original submitters did not think of this, as their book was the "English" tite).
I use this for ages, actually, never found the "English" part of original title as a limitation to the functionality.....One has to carefully look on the copyright page though, and hope that the foreign language edition has the correct title.
And I am afraid you would have to put the title additionally into "English title" for any non-English language book just in case any translation might turn up sometime.
Summary: a workaround that might involve lots of editing.
