Magic Album - Database Errors, Missed Cards and Pictures
Missing Sets - Alternate 4th and FBB (awaiting information)
The following sets appear to be missing (there may be others but these are the ones I have cards for):
Alternate 4th Edition
Everything older than M12 for Korean. Specifically, 4th Edition is the one I have a card for that I can't add

The problem with the old foreign sets is lack of the data. I will add them as soon as I have proper name/type/text/flavor data for the whole set.

These sets are the same as the English sets. That is, Alternate 4th is identical to 4th in terms of cards, flavor text, and the like. I don't think the images are any different either. It is just a different set based on a different printing mechanism. See this:

I am not sure of what differences are expected between Korean 4th and English 4th. They should be the same.
4th introduced the following:
Chinese Traditional
Japanese
Korean
Portuguese
Spanish
They should all be identical to their English counterparts except they are black bordered. Every missing set after this for these languages are the same except they are also the same border color as the english version.
What more would be needed to ensure these get added as I see Japanese is already in the database and Korean should basically be the same thing in terms of names, type, text, and flavor.

That makes sense. I never even realized the Japanese 4th cards had the Japanese info since I just had the Oracle Text displayed so I wasn't sure that is what you were looking for.
Scryfall has German, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese which are missing as well so that might be a good source for those missing languages.
As for Korean and Simplified Chinese, I am having a difficult time finding the right info. I do see Gatherer has Simplified Chinese but only for later sets.
I will keep looking for a source, but I am not sure where that will end up being.
