Language information in the database is pretty reliable, we should be able to generate a list of files very easily.
All non-english books, zipped files:
books | files | size -------+-------+----------- 1075 | 2137 | 416028225
so we can easily stuff all foreign books on a CD if we stick to zipped files.
Many of those files can be thrown out because we always have 7bit and 8bit files for foreign books. I personally hold that 7bit files are useless for any language except English. Maybe throwing all those out we can build a CD with uncompressed files.
I agree on chucking out the 7 bit files. I don't think anyone would have a problem with zipped files tho, and then maybe we could add the html files if there are any in non english languages. Just don't expect me to do the index ;-)
