Steps to reproduce (in Power edit):
1. Select books that have neither primary, nor secondary language
2. Set the primary language.
3. Leave the Secondary language as (no change)
It sets the Primary but changes something in the secondary and you end up with titles in your Unknown (xxx) language list. See https://www.librarything.com/catalog/AnnieMod/allcollections&language=xxx
(I will leave it in place until someone from stuff reproduces).
How to fix in one's library:
1. Select all the books that just got messed up.
2. Set the primary language (I don't want to risk leaving it to no change...)
3. Set the Secondary language to (blank) instead.
Can someone check why the (no change) behaves the way it does for secondary languages and sets them to "language with a name which is an empty string":
See the language list at the top of the page I linked:
English (2499), Bulgarian (6), Russian (2), (1),
PS: If you add Languages to your catalog view style, this one looks like "English, " instead of "English". Books with secondary languages look like "English, German" for example.
