— Give the title in the first language found on the title page.

— List all languages after the pagination, or physical description if present.

— Capitalize the language names.

— Separate the language names by commas.

— End the list of languages with a period.

— Separate them with an equals sign with a space on either side.

— List the languages after the pagination.

— Capitalize the language names.

— Separate the language names by commas.
