neik 870 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Hi guys, I am sharing my server with my parents and my sister. My sister and I would like to have the metadata in English our parents on the other hand need to have a different language as they don't speak English. Have been looking in the settings but couldn't find anything that would allow this. So, is it even possible to set two languages for the metadata and then depending on the users language showing the one or the other language? 14
laie_techie 15 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Unfortunately the NFO file format does not allow storing the same metadata for multiple languages.
neik 870 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 Luke, are you interested in this? This would be a nice to have, nothing urgent, but nice to have.

neik 870 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Then this should be moved to "Feature Requests", I guess.
neik 870 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) @@Luke, will you move this or should I open a new topic in the right spot? Thanks! Edited June 10, 2019 by neik
Wondertje 10 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Even though I'd probably not use it myself, I can see how it would be a really convenient feature to have in a media library. I'm all for it, if they feel like it's worth developing! 2
laie_techie 15 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 As I'm in a multi-lingual family, I would support this. 2

kesm 25 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 You may add two librairies with localized content and english and allow your family to access only the one with correct metadata
neik 870 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 You may add two librairies with localized content and english and allow your family to access only the one with correct metadata If I see this correctly then using that workaround would mean having thumbnails being extracted and stored twice as they would be two different libraries from Emby's point of view. @@Luke, is my assumption correct? 1
Luke 39876 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 We would have to rethink everything for this. That means the database structure, the way metadata is stored, etc.
laie_techie 15 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 You may add two librairies with localized content and english and allow your family to access only the one with correct metadata That would mean storing duplicates for my collections, video files, and subtitles. Currently I rip with audio streams and subtitles for all the languages spoken in my household.
Dibbes 445 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 That would mean storing duplicates for my collections, video files, and subtitles. Currently I rip with audio streams and subtitles for all the languages spoken in my household. I have Dutch, English, Spanish and German in my family... With a 80TB library that is really cost prohibitive...
skelleton 5 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I would also like to see the ability to have multiple metadata languages. 1
KoqueSilva 2 Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Hello, I'm from Brazil but I have a sister who lives in the United States, Emby he translates the display language and I can change the audio language, but I can't change the metadata like the covers, the name of the movies, it would be great if I could implement this Emby. 1

Hi there, why can't you? Have you checked out the metadata editor?

For instance, having two covers - one Portuguese, one English - and show the correct one according to the user's settings. This is afaik simply not possible and I do not see how the metadata editor can help but apparently you know the solution... 1
Happy2Play 9405 Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Metadata/images currently are still limited to one language for all users. You can not have a item in two different languages for metadata/images unless you are going to duplicate your media and assign languages to each library. Edited May 21, 2021 by Happy2Play

Exactly this! That's why I don't understands Luke's post, it just doesn't make sense in this context... 1

I think a mis-interpretation as sure they can change their server in Brazil to show English poster. (But title says it all) Edited May 21, 2021 by Happy2Play
