Hi @javadb40,
You can't call an explicit fallback (ie. English as you're describing) but you can use the original title. If the movie you are requesting has a translated title, it will be available in the
titlefield. Theoriginal_titlefield will have the original title if it is different than the requested language. There's no guarantee it's English but that's all we support right now.Support for language fallbacks is something on my radar for future versions.
