Episode name translations.
posted by ViktorSTAFFMOD on অগাস্ট 17, 2017 at 3:04 PM
Why doesn't episodes names default to the episodes original language name? Right now every single episode is named Avsnitt 1,2,3... (sv-SE) even if the episode has a name in the original language. This is not helpful at all and frankly a bit annoying.
The only way to fix this right now is to input the original name as translated name even if the two are the same and I suspect this might be the wrong way to do it.
Any way it could be fixed so episodes defaults back to the original language name when no translated name is detected just like movies?

Hi Viktor,
I've created a ticket to think about this here. I'm not sure when I'll find time for this but it's on my radar now.

Thanks! No need to hurry I just thought it would be a useful feature to have in the future.

Hey Travis I read that you fixed this. May I ask in which version of the scraper this is/will be implemented. I can not find that the scraper The Movie Database v3.5.14 has any fallback languages to choose from. I might be looking in the wrong place though. Would you mind explaining where I set up the Fallback language?
I have long waited for this function. Many thanks for implementing.

Scrapers are part of the application you are using. They are not provided by us.
So, you need to ask this to the support team of the application you used.
By the way, the ticket above is for the Website, not the API.

Would you be able to also open a ticket regarding the API? This would help alot.
