Adding sorting via a language

[davvarrr]

Describe your suggested feature

I think that adding sorting via a language would be relevant. I've made a prototype by adding "tags" in the recently added parser ( e788cff ) , but ideally we'd need a separate section to better manage this sorting.
This kind of addition could be applied to others like manga dex, which would be a big plus for searching for manga translated into the desired language.

Do you mean adding new section "language" to filter?
Like "Sort order", "Language" and "Genres" (aka tags), right?

[davvarrr]

yes, in this style, to be able to manage languages independently.
because adding them to tags isn't very clear.
Then we'll see if we can make an option to cumulate tags with or without mangadex, because in the case of mangadex you can do language + tag but not on other sources.

@Koitharu I don't know if you're planning to add this feature, but in the same vein, you could also add statu share sorting.
all sources on the mangareader & madara template are compatible with a sort of this kind, so after adding this one, we'll be able to make a lot of sources compatible at once

[Koitharu]

@davvarrr how do you think, is it worth to add possibility to select multiple languages or just one? (I mean multiple like tags or single like sort order in current implementation).

And also I didn`t catch what do you mean by

add statu share sorting

[davvarrr]

Few people and few sites do multilingual sorting (I only know mengadex at the moment), so if there's only a single-language selection, it's not a problem.

[davvarrr]

For "add statu share sorting" its : Sorting by ongonig , canceled , paused and finished

I've added an example on madara if that helps. : https://github.com/KotatsuApp/kotatsu-parsers/blob/6f73ff23e874759a8c955ab06f39cf207a26492b/src/main/kotlin/org/koitharu/kotatsu/parsers/site/madara/MadaraParser.kt#L174C2-L174C2

[Koitharu]

@davvarrr can you please take a look on #387 ?

[davvarrr]

Thanks for the addition ;)
I'll just need an example for languages and status so I can better understand how to implement them on compatible sources :)

[Koitharu]

@davvarrr I plan to make a new release, can I merge branch filter into master?

[davvarrr]

No I think I'll do it this weekend

[davvarrr]

And had you planned the language filter in a little while to know if I could add it on weekends?

[Koitharu]

Yes, language filter will be implemented soon, and it would be nice to have at least one source with it before

[davvarrr]

You had the parser GalleryAdultsParser which has a prototype of language filter but the best is to test on mangadex it is quite simple to set up.

[davvarrr]

@Koitharu I changed "originalLanguage" share "availableTranslatedLanguage" which is more relevant for a manga search.
Thanks for the examples, I'll look at them later this week or this weekend and add them to the sources that support it.

[davvarrr]

@Koitharu Normally, all language-compatible sources are made. For bato, I added the languages manually, because too many languages are not used by the source even though it lists them.
