If you plan on translating or writing in another language beware of KDP!
Time for my annual rant on KDP and Amazon not caring about writers in non-English.
The list of supported languages is incredibly limited:
https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A9FDO0A3V0119 https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A9FDO0A3V0119
Finnish is allowed but Estonian is not... it is ridiculous.
Latvian and Lithuanian is not allowed, Russian is not allowed etc etc.
It took a shaming campaign by the British press to get Welsch added.
This restriction is so silly when the book comes out perfectly on Createspace paper version.
It looks fine doing my own conversion for the Kindle but Amazon will not let me publish the books in unsupported languages.
I do editing and typesetting for a non-profit as a hobby/volunteer effort and end up publishing the paper books on Createspace but ebooks have to go through Kobo and other non Amazon venues.
