alternative_titles should include non-requested-language official titles
pubblicato da rednoahSTAFFMOD il 28 gennaio, 2016 alle 12:04PM
Hello!
If I request movie & alternative_titles in English, then the response will not include the German official title.
e.g. English Title: "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" Alternative Titles: includes titles of different languages including German, except the actual German title "Der Hobbit - Die Schlacht der Fünf Heere"
Is there a way to get all movie titles (main title for all languages + all alternative titles) in a single request?
Test Case:
Search for: "Fünf"
Actual Result: No Search Result
Expected Result: "Der Hobbit - Die Schlacht der Fünf Heere" included as German alternative title.
Cheers, Reinhard

Hey rednoah,
Alternative titles doesn't have anything to do with translations. They are a discrete object added to the entry by country (not language), see here: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/53861-die/edit?active_nav_item=alternative_titles
As you can see, Ölüm is the only alternative title added.
Another good example would be Spectre, just so you can see some of the different types that can be added: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/206647-spectre/edit?active_nav_item=alternative_titles

Thanks for the quick reply!
Alright, so if I wanted to know the movie title in X different languages, then I'd have to do X requests one for each language?
In that case I'd like to make a feature request to have a new /movie/id/titles endpoint that will return all the language/title entries.
