Description
Dear developers,
There's currently no way to filter books by language on author pages, which is frustrating when the author page contains multitudes of books in several languages, and you only want to see books in one of the languages.
I'm suggesting that this functionality already available on search results pages (shown on attached screenshot) should be added to author pages as well.
Thank you for considering it.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing language filter on search results and the code that renders author pages, then compare how their available filters are wired. Add equivalent language filtering to author pages and verify that selecting a language limits the displayed books correctly.
