As a multibrand and bilingual publisher, we require author bios in both French and English. However, when selecting the author name in composer the same author name appears twice (one linking to a FR bio, another an ENG bio) but it is impossible for the editor to distinguish between the two bios.
A helpful solution would be an internal 'Notes' field that displays inside the CMS, but not to the public - ex. Jane Smith (ENGLISH), Jane Smith (FRENCH).
Or for publishers that only have one language but want to have brand-specific bios, they could use the internal notes field to say - Jane Smith (DEALS.COM BIO) and Jane Smith (SERIOUSNEWS.COM BIO)
This would also solve for if an organization has two authors with the same name.

Thank you for the idea! We have heard a few ideas in this area, particularly around localization.
