Episode Names in Season endpoint

My problem is pretty straightforward. For example when I query first season of How I Met Your Mother {/tv/1100/season/1}, almost every information about episodes is given in episodes array and this helps a lot. However, name field for episodes are filled with "Episode {episode_number}" instead of proper episode name. Due to this condition, I had to remove episode name field from a list of episodes in UI.

I'm sorry. This was caused due to a given specific language in query.

Hi @halilozercan Yes, episode titles will default back to the "Episode {episode_number}" format when there isn't a translated title for the language you're querying. English has the best coverage but there are lots of non-English series that probably default back to the English name too.
Cheers.
