French-Canadian language in the pictures categories

Hi,
Looking at the forum threads, the "same language - different countries" problem seems to have been an issue a few years ago.
We do have flavours now, in the main toolbar, which is nice.
For "Upside-Down", we have :
- "Vice-Versa" in fr-FR
- "Sans dessus-dessous" in Fr-CA
But the movie posters are still merged in juste one "French" family :
Fr-FR : https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/7N5B2fyYS95ARjyMLfX5vbAYjT1.jpg
Fr-CA : https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/yLJzUJXuXBau9EBnybjLs1n1cBC.jpg
The Canadian covers are heavily downvoted. Even by me (I'm a Froggy-French)
I feel a little bad each time I downvote those covers.
Can we have some "French (Canada)" pictures category ?
I guess the problem is the same between Brasilian-Portugese and Portugal-Portugese,
or Spanish from Spain and most South-American countries...

I rather have improvement for tagging the posters with multiple languages to be honest.
Because other countries simply use the original/English title too (and any poster will be moved to English, unless there's ugly icons indicating it's Danish, Dutch etc)

Well, sure. But the first issue still needs to be fixed. The fr-CA situation is pretty bad (France is infamous for their bad titles.
).

Yes, Brazilian-Portuguese and Portugal-Portuguese has their differences and should have different categories!

Regional image language tags will arrive at some point but it's a big job to update the image service to support them. I am not sure when I will find time for this.
