Mediateque localization

[korzadze 0]

Hello.
I'm setting up a home media library for myself and my family. I've run into a couple of issues:

=> 1. Maybe it would make sense to add a language attribute to the “Title,” “Original Title,” and “Description” fields.
Something like

  <title lang="en">Babylon-5. The Gathering</title>
  <title lang="ru">Вавилон-5: Сбор</title>
  <title lang="fr">Babylon 5. Le Rassemblement</title>
  <originaltitle lang="en">Babylon-5. The Gathering</originaltitle>

I think this will make life a lot easier. If it’s easier for me to read a list of movies in Arabic or German, I can specify my preferred display languages in the user settings, and only display what’s available if the titles/descriptions aren’t available in those languages.

=> 2. Есть ли возможность блокировать обновление полей DbId?

=> 3. When searching external databases (such as TheMovieDb or AniDb), use the title from the “title” field, not “originaltitle.”

If I add a movie or TV series that has no translations or has multiple translated titles, it’s quite difficult to find it in the databases. It turns out I have to leave the original title in the “Title” field. Then why is the “Original Title” field even necessary? And, after all, it’s pretty inconvenient to have a localized library full of English, Chinese, or Indian titles, especially when the viewer is an 8-year-old :)))
Or should I add the movie, wait for all the metadata to update, and then localize it? What if it’s a TV series that’s still being filmed?

Hi, we already do this.

It's mainly because some users want to be able to see it. No functional purpose other than that.

“Original Title” is searchable.
