Movie search doesn't return the titles in the asked language

Hi,
Using the search/movie API I have the impression that the language parameter is ignored, as the resulting 'title' fields are always returned in their original language, not the asked one. Actually it seems that 'title' and 'original_title' are always equals but I might be wrong.
For example let's search for the movie "Lone Ranger (2013)" https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?language=FR&api_key=xxx&query=Lone%20Ranger The call returns "original_title":"The Lone Ranger" / "title":"The Lone Ranger", while with the french parameter it should return "original_title":"The Lone Ranger" / "title":"Lone Ranger, Naissance d'un héros"
Am I doing something wrong?
Note that the /movie/id API is well taking into account the language parameter.
Many thanks.

Found the issue by myself ;-) The language code is case sensitive on this API apparently, as using 'language=fr' instead of 'language=FR' works perfectly. Cheers.

Hi Pierre,
Good catch. It's not supposed to be but the search & discover API's were recently re-written and it looks like this is a regression. Until it's fixed, using lowercase is no doubt the easiest thing to do.
Cheers.
