Describe the feature/enhancement

Would be nice to have an option to auto translate Quick Match book descriptions into different languages (a language of your choice) , maybe using Google Translate API.

Later Update: I noticed that if the title is in a specific language it will grab the description in that language , im guessing that google have added for some books the same book multiple times for multiple languages but most of the books have only the english version added to google.

As an idea, it would be nice if it could have somehow like this ,if the google translate is going to be implemented at some point,
-- if auto translate is enabled -->> translate the Description text to preferred language ( it can be in the Admin Language , Server Language or something custom ), or even more complicated ... add an option to add the english title of the book (or an option to auto translate the title to english before checking for info) so when we search for matches it will use the english title then we can even manually translate the description (or use auto translation again).
