Language-Aware "Random Book" Feature

[JordanFrederick]

With Open Library becoming increasingly more language-aware (edition aware carousals, etc), it would be nice if the "Random Book" feature was as well. For example, only showing books with French editions available when the user has chosen to display the website in French.

Relevant code

This function will need to take into account the current user language:

But only for populated languages. Something similar to this:
