The Movie Database Support

according to the bug report at https://gitlab.com/tinyMediaManager/tinyMediaManager/issues/708 I've figured out, that when only passing "fr" as the language string (https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/301528?language=fr&append_to_response=credits%2Ckeywords%2Crelease_dates%2Ctranslations&api_key=...) it looks like the the texts are returned in the language fr-CA.

according to your api docs at https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/languages it should return the translations of fr-FR

any news on this?

I'm not seeing this as an issue with the item you linked to above. Here's the fr-FR data:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/301528-toy-story-4?language=fr-FR

And the fr-CA data:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/301528-toy-story-4?language=fr-CA

The data being returned here on this call:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/301528?language=fr&append_to_response=credits,keywords,release_dates,translations&api_key=###

Looks to match fr-FR.

strange - the last time I checked that it was returning the values for fr-CA. I suggest that was only a hiccup of the API then.

Thanks for looking into this

No problem.

Cheers.

I have a similar problem. The following request returns language de-EN instead of de-DE: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/14161?api_key=xxx&language=de&append_to_response=credits

Hi @MyBoards, de-EN is not a valid translation, so I don't know what you mean. Our language codes are language-REGION.

In any case, this request looks correct to me:

Doch schon bald mehren sich die Vorzeichen und Curtis wird klar, dass ein wenig aussichtsreicher Kampf ums Überleben begonnen hat.",

Yesterday the overview field was in english. Today it is correct in german.

I have another example.

curl -v http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/121856?api_key=xyz&language=de&append_to_response=credits

The overview field is english instead of german.

I try to post request and response formatted, but i have some trouble. The preview looks good, but the real message not. So i deleted my message and fail now on spam filter.

I have the same problem on https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?language=pt-BR (Using Bearer Token). If i send the request from documentation site (https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-movie-list) the response is valid but on my app the response is invalid (en).
