Hi
Just downloaded imtg and am a bit disappointed sadly. I've got a fair bit of foreign cards and can't register them as such, fbb revised, fbb 4th, fbb 9th and even renessaince is nonexistent, and I can't specify language in the other sets.  The scanner won't work with foreign cards either, I've tried a few times with my Japanese ghave, and more than a few with an Italian gilded lotus.
Is this something which will be added or am I out of luck?

I'm not sure about the scanning but you definitely can at least record which cards are other languages in your collection.

Let's use the {Ghave, Guru of Spores} you mentioned as a reference. Down the bottom of his page you'll see some sliders named My Precious, Trade Binder, Needed and New Binder. Hit 1 on the My Precious binder for the purpose of this experiment. Now hit the grey box next to My Precious and you'll be taken to his location in your collection binder. Now hit the pencil in the top right and then press Ghave. This will take you to a page where you can denote it's language, make it a foil, discern it's condition and a whole lot more.

Where the scanner is concerned, I haven't been able to get to to work with English for a long time, let alone foreign ... but I've got shakey hands and I renovated the house with dull lighting anyway. Ho hum.

Ah thank you, though it doesn't carry over to the deckbuilder. And there's still an entire expansion missing, renessaince, and you still can't define which edition of revised the card is, fbb or fwb, except in the notes ofc.

I believe until TCG has proper foreign support, the app will not really have pricing support or data info for foreign cards.

I would love foreign pricing info as I collect sets in other languages

Pricing support for foreign cards would be hard, since the language on the cards is kind of a personal preference.
My biggest peeve is the missing expansion, the other foreign cards I can at least put in my collection but not those from renessaince.

And no fwb is not chronicles, chronicles was an English expansion with reprints from antiquities, Arabian nights, legends and the dark printed with white borders. I think there was a fbb version in china and japan of chronicles but I'm not sure though.

Chronicles is in Card Database since forever.

But not renessaince, http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Renaissance
It's only reprints but it's still neither 4th and neither the original print runs.
