Is there an existing issue for this?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Right now, there are a bunch of languages supported by TMDB that are not supported by Sonarr/Radarr. This means that any movie/file with these languages is parsed as English which leads to less-than-ideal behavior. While there are individual FRs to add support for very specific languages, I wanted to create a master FR that has all possible languages so they can all be added in one shot.
This is needed in Sonarr as well.
Describe the solution you'd like
Using below endpoint, you can see all existing languages on TMDB. While more can potentially be added in the future, this list is probably going to cover all existing movies, so it should be solid.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration/languages?api_key=<<api_key>>
Here is the output. One thing to note is that Cantonese is coming as CN here, but this is incorrect it seems - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes. CN does not exist as a code, and it should be mapped to ZH. This means that it is possible that multiple TMDB languages could be mapped to the same ISO 639-1 code. I am not sure if there are other examples.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep creating FRs/PRs for single languages at a time
Live with these files/movies/series being parsed as English incorrectly
Anything else?
No

@Qstick commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2022):
The big question here is which of these actually get movies or releases against them. Sure we can add everything, but what's going to happen is Radarr will collect ALL translations from TMDB in the DB, Language Parsing slows, etc. Is it worth it to support every possible language if 40-50% of them don't have movies or releases?
Just something to think about. It might not be a bad idea for us to bucket the TMDB database against spoken_languages and original_language properties for movies to make some decisions.
@rg9400 commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2022):
yeah I think most of these will have no movies against them. There's also no easy way to check stats for each language, unless you are storing that in the metadata servers and can see which ones have movies.
I can highlight the ones I know are missing that do, but I am sure I am missing a bunch as well
@Qstick commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2022):
Yea, we might have some data in the cache.
This would certainly be helpful.
@rg9400 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2022):
In Sonarr, I noticed Catalan, Romanian, and Thai are missing.
In Radarr: Serbian, Estonian, No Language/Linguistic Content (Silent films), Indonesian, Bosnian, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Catalan, Filipino, Latin, Macedonian, Dzongkha, Kannada, Romany (Serbo-Croatian should be mapped to this), Bangla (I think Bengali should be mapped to this), Marathi
In both, Cantonese at TMDB should map to Chinese for Audio Language.
@Qstick commented on GitHub (Feb 12, 2023):
Serbian, Estonian, Indonesian, Bosnian, Tamil, Catalan now added
@tommargar commented on GitHub (Sep 4, 2023):
Thanks for adding the new languages. I have some issues with Cantonese films Original Language tagged as English.
Could this be added?
@NLZ commented on GitHub (Nov 4, 2023):
Maybe Tagalog could be added as well, AvistaZ has 6050 torrents with that language
@bakerboy448 commented on GitHub (Apr 23, 2024):
CN fixed in Feb?
github.com/Radarr/Radarr@4ad7b60d9d@Invictus6474 commented on GitHub (Jun 28, 2024):
Could we add Malayalam and Kannada as Original Languages in Radarr please?
I have a few movies in those languages that are incorrectly mapped to English now.
@jure3000 commented on GitHub (Jul 23, 2024):
Can we add Slovenian language? Tnx
@mynameisbogdan commented on GitHub (Aug 29, 2024):
Macedonian, Slovenian, Malayalam and Kannada added.
@mihai44 commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2024):
Could you please add the possibility to select Romanian in Radarr?
@mynameisbogdan commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2024):
@mihai44 Add it where? It's been present for a while, so maybe update to the latest version.
@mihai44 commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2024):
Thanks, I was indeed on an old v3 version. Now I'm still facing the same issue, I have a romanian tv show with its english name and because of this searching for files does not work. How can I change the metadata to Romanian?
@mynameisbogdan commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2024):
Firstly that's a TV show and Radarr is for movies, secondly please use Discord for support as we don't provide support on github.
@grapexy commented on GitHub (Aug 14, 2025):
Could we add Georgian language please? There are around 1700 Georgian movies out there and they're being mapped as English. Thank you
@momor10 commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2026):
would love to see arabic added
