books api same book different languages

I'm looking at google Books API Documentation but I can't figure out if it's possible to recognize that 2 editions in different languages are of the same book.

For example:

Kafka on the shore (English) http://books.google.it/books?id=A08c2Ep7QbYC

Kafka sulla spiaggia (Italian) http://books.google.it/books?id=cyDyATFIxo8C

Developing a multilingual web application it would be useful to group such editions. If not in google books, does someone know an API that allows to do this?

WorldCat has the data for various "editions" of any specific title. The editions query covers the languages as well:

There is also an API available, but apparently it's not free to use for personal and commercial purposes.
