On the Project Gutenberg web site, on the main catalog page: http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/ You can find links to pages which show the contents of Project Gutenberg that are recorded as using different languages. I have not seen anything in traditional library catalogs that would do what you ask. Andrew
