Fallback language?
posted by RealityTestSTAFFMOD on March 30, 2018 at 8:35 ก่อนเที่ยง
Hello, is it possible to set a fallback language when using the API? Sometimes movies don't have a description in some languages other than English. Is there a way to get the English description if the selected language doesn't have one?

Hi @RealityTest,
There's no system for this right now. Unfortunately, since the API is fairly heavily cached, supporting fallbacks is just not a realistic feature to build right now.
If I ever find more time to continue moving more of the API to our newer infrastructure which is cacheless, this will become a potential.

Sorry for reopening, but I wanted to kindly ask if there's anything new on this? Thanks in advance.
