Standard Ebooks only works on English-language books, as typography varies between languages and we're only experts in English.

  I can tell you there is a lot of appetite for other languages. I looked at the project and the amount of stuff that would need to be rewritten to work with multiple languages was daunting. I would consider working on making your documentation and workflow functional with multiple languages.

    Lots of people have tried similar projects in other languages but as far as I know none have persevered. Personally I think it's important to have one person in charge who is able to approve of the quality of all the project's output; for now, at SE, that person is me and I'm only an expert in English.

      Project Runeberg seems to be still going after 30-odd years.

        Project Runeberg is trying to be a nordic Project Gutenberg, not a nordic Standard Ebooks.
