Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing open and closed issues

It is currently impossible to view movies metadata (title, cover and synopsis) in more than one language.

Describe the solution you'd like

In Settings > UI > Language, being able to set Movie info language to Original Country .

This would avoid this situation:

Describe alternatives you've considered

See movie details from my home country in English.

Anything else?

This above should be enough to understand the request but happy to make more mockups :)

All good, the rest would already be a huge win. Although I'm interested to know how Plex is able to update artwork upon changing metadata language for a library and/or single item.
Thanks :)

But why did you highlighted the path and quality profile name, the latter being the name you defined in settings?

Like I said this screenshot is to show what situation I want to avoid, that is looking at metadata displayed in two different languages for the same movie.

So I wanted to avoid being pointed to the Standard Movie Format and Movie Folder Format sections of Media Management, which is working great thanks to {Movie OriginalTitle}, and isn't what I'm looking for here.
Makes sense?

Of course, just wanted to make sure we're on the same page with what's possible and whatnot.

OriginalTitle being a separate property is easier to implement, but Overview is not and it breaks our current implementation of loading all translations at once in order to improve the loading time.

It's not a priority at the moment to refactor the translations logic to support this, but maybe one day.

Thanks for looking into it, I was afraid it would be the case for the synopsis. Any chance to still press forward with OriginalTitle though? This would be an awesome feature! Thanks
