Yeah, unfortunately just not possible right now. Uploading the book
multiple times is the only way to do it right now :(

When I settle on a solution for presenting the titles of the books in
the translated language, this part of the problem should go away :)
Title in menu in English = book in English. Title in menu in Spanish =
book in Spanish :) Nobody should be surprised :)
It would be great this way.
And thank you for your hard work and perseverance.
I want to extend a special thank you to Domingo and Daniel from the
Spanish team -- for F13 they have really been fighting hard to fight off
technical problems with the Installation Guide in Transifex, and in one
very tragic incident, lost a lot of their work. I'm sure that everyone
reading this can understand the horror of that situation :(
