Bookmarklets are small pieces of JavaScript code which you store and run on-demand in your browser to conveniently access tools for your Open Library work! For general info, see bookmarklet on Wikipedia.

See These installation instructions for installing an Open Library Bookmarklet.

Customize language of titles and covers

Bookmarklet for scanning a list of results and replacing titles and covers with those in a specific language, when available.

For example, a list of works for an author, such as https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7044246A/刘慈欣
or a list of Hugo Award winning novels: https://openlibrary.org/search?q=subject:%22award:hugo_award=novel%22

Gist: https://gist.github.com/MignonBelongie/02019888af8a44811850458d891350e2

The gist is for English, but can easily be used for other languages by replacing the language code ('/languages/eng') with the desired one.
