add "language" to media/published reviews

Most CK now has language links, where you can easily switch between language-sites and to enter, copy, and remove data. Published Reviews are part of the CK system, but there's no way to navigate between language versions in that section, and no way to set the review's language.

Could we get similar links for different languages there, and ways to copy over media reviews that have been entered on the wrong language site? Another option would be to add a field or dropbox in the "add published review" lightbox to specify the language of the review; that setting could then put the published review in the right place.

(This post is a sort of follow up to a question I asked in another post, where I'd found a bunch of non-English published reviews that were entered on the English site, and were showing up on work pages on the English site: http://www.librarything.com/topic/118744 )

I asked about this a couple of days ago when I noticed a large number of French reviews on the English site done by one person. I was told that the determining factor is what the language setting the account is set to.

Can't find the thread right off though.

This thread is about media/published reviews, though, not member reviews. I think the discussion on that other thread was about member reviews.

Incidentally, I found the thread where this feature was announced, and cD did say then that he planned to add a language setting to it. So it seems it's doable, but just needs to get back on the to-do list.
