Currently, although Go has a broad international audience, the 5 featured books are in English.

Would a PR to suggest at least one book in some major languages be acceptable ? Like mandarin, french, spanish, german, portuguese, maybe ?

Which web page are you referring to? I see a lot of books at
https://golang.org/wiki/Books, in various languages.

Are you referring to go.dev/learn? If so, I think this is a great idea. Could you create an issue (https://github.com/golang/go/issues) with potential books to include?

Cheers,

Todd

Following Ian Lance Taylor's suggestion, here is an issue on the go tracker

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47426

And here is the PR https://github.com/golang/website/pull/76

I chose 5 books to have a second row, by decreasing number of language speakers, subject to the actual number of original books in that language (not translations), skipping books that didn't exist or weren't books, from the wiki books page at https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Books
