Specific Language book clubs get a list on their own sub-forums.
Book clubs that run in multiple languages simultaneously go in a table below for ease of access.

Proposal: We drop listing the individual multilingual books here, and instead just link to the main language book club threads like we already have. I can already see how tedious this is going to be with only two languages: gotta add the table data to each individual language, then once here as well, and that goes for maintenance as well.
Users could go visit the individual language and find the book from there. Granted, there wouldn’t be any record of which books are part of multilingual clubs unless you started cross-referencing stuff… If we wanted to keep that easy to read we could potentially add another column to the other book club tables. Maybe something simple like “Multilingual?” and then list the flags for the language(s) the book’s being read in other than the language of the subforum someone’s currently visiting. So, for example, in looking at the Japanese book club thread, someone could scroll to the LN club and see attached to the end of the table:
Multilingual?
(blank for Copcraft, since we only read that in JP)
Added the HP book club. Instead of linking the Natively page on the book title like the other table entries, I linked each language version to the flag on its row of the table.
Update: I’ve cleaned up the table a bit. Language-specific club picks that happen to have multilingual readers participating go into their own table. Truly multilingual, i.e. the club/book started with multiple languages in mind (and has their home thread living in the All Languages forum), have been broken off into an Informal Club list and a separate list for the Korean in Translation club.
