Peter, I’m afraid you left out the closing parentheses, as well as the immediate call to invoke it.

I fixed it for you:

(function () {
  var list = [];
  var docs = app.books[0].bookContents;
  for (var i = 0; i < docs.length; i++) {
    list.push ({name: docs[i].name, firstPage: Number(docs[i].documentPageRange.replace(/-\d+/,''))});
  }

  list.sort (function (a,b) {return a.firstPage - b.firstPage})

  for (i = list.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    docs.item(list[i].name).move (LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);
  }
})()

He meant to ask if you’re using different layers for each language, not different InDesign files…

Here you go. This is the updated script that removes the clipping path from the bottom object:

//Ari S. - designerjoe@outlook.com
app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = false;
// 'Undo' will undo the entire script
app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Image Manipulation Script");

function main(){
    // Capture the current selections in array
    var mySelections = app.selection;
    for (var i = 0; i < mySelections.length; i++) {
        try{
            var bottomObject = mySelections[i];
            var topObject = bottomObject.duplicate();
            bottomObject.transparencySettings.blendingSettings.blendMode = BlendMode.MULTIPLY;
            try {
                topObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.appliedPathName = topObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.photoshopPathNames[0];
                topObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.PHOTOSHOP_PATH;
                bottomObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.NONE;
                try {
                    var myGroup = bottomObject.parent.groups.add ([bottomObject, topObject]);
                    app.select(myGroup);
                    }
                catch (myError) {
                    // If it can't group
                    alert("could not group successfully");
                    }
                }
            catch (myError) {
                // If it can't apply the Photoshop path then it obviously does not have one
                alert("Selected image does not have a Photoshop path applied")
                }
            }
        catch (myError){
            // If it can't duplicate the object or apply multiply then it's obviously not a graphic frame
            alert("Make sure you selected a graphic frame");
            }
        }
    }

Only one line was added:
bottomObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.NONE;

Skemicle’s idea is great, but I want to add some extra tips as well:

First, to clarify Skemicle’s approach:

1. Edit the ‘Section’ paragraph style. Under Bullets and Numbering, from the List Type dropdown menu select Numbers (duh!…).
2. From the List: dropdown menu select New List. A ‘New List’ dialog box appears. Give the new list a name (such as “figure_list”). Make sure both checkboxes are activated. hit OK
3. In the Number: textbox, you’ll probably see the default string (^#.^t). Delete the last few characters so you’re only left with ^#. This will delete the period and the tab from after the number.
4. From the Character Style: dropdown menu select New Character Style. A new ‘Character Style’ dialog box appears. Give it a name (such as ‘hidden_numbers’). Define only two settings in the character style: Make the point size 0.1 and the character color to [None]. Hit OK. This effectively ‘hides’ the numbers from the section headers so it doesn’t actually show up in the text. Save the paragraph style.
5. Now edit the Bullets and Numbering in the ‘Figure’ paragraph style. From the List Type: dropdown menu select the ‘figure_list’ list that you created earlier. Then make sure that the Level: is set to 2.

That’s it! It’s basically Skemicle’s approach, but clarified. Plus, a cool trick on how to ‘hide’ numbers when you don’t want then to actually show up in the text.

Very easy. Follow along:

1. Make sure that the ‘subpages’ and the ‘chapter’ text have separate paragraph styles (so that the TOC builder can find them separately).
2. Go to Layout > Table of Contents to define your TOC. Make sure that More Options is activated. (You can find its button on the right below the Save Style button).
3. On the right there’s a list of all the paragraph styles in your document. Select the style that you used for the chapter openings and click << Add, Then do the same for the subpages style. On the left you’ll see both styles: ‘Chapter’ will be on top (‘parent’) and ‘subpages’ will be below it, indented (‘child’).
4. Select the parent entry (‘chapter’) on the left. On the bottom you can set up a lot of options for the ‘Chapter’ entry in the TOC (such as the paragraph style to use when displayed in the TOC, or to sort it alphabetically and more), but what concerns us is only two settings. First, make sure that Level: is set to 1. Secondly, from the Page Number dropdown menu, select No Page Number. Then select on the left the ‘subpages’ entry, give it any settings that you want, but leave the Page Number options to either After Entry or Before Entry (whichever you prefer), and make sure that the Level: is set to 2.
5. When done, hit OK, and the TOC will be ready to be placed anywhere you wish.

I hope this clarified things, not the other way around…

I might be able to write a script for that (if needed), but I first have to understand better what you’re trying to acheive. Thanks!

Try this:

Find What: (.+)(\r)(.+)(\r)(.+)(\r)

Change To: $1$2$3$4$5\x{0020}

But beware, this will only work correctly if you change all at once by clicking Change All.

What’s the issue?

You can’t create a PDF because a glyph is missing? And you want to be able to change all the missing glyphs at once with a glyph that is found?
