The &language= parameter determines in which language you receive the answer, the data, the overview.
The movie might be Japanese but you get the data in the specified language.
If you only want movies that are spoken in a specific language, for example English, then use Discover with the parameters:
&with_original_language= and/or &with_origin_country=
Sorry, I think my text wasn't clear.
To search for movies that have a specific original language, only using Discover.
The available parameters and filters are on the page. https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-movie
Using the Search endpoint is not possible. Search is used to search Titles and Names.
get https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie
Search for movies by their original, translated and alternative titles.
Not sure if I can help you, but...
There are search parameters using Discover that are not yet documented.
I believe that more tests and corrections still need to be done before publishing.
But you can test it and if it works correctly maybe it solves your problem.
I'm referring specifically to the new filter for text. &with_text_query=
Undocumented Filters
On Discover, some that might help.
Examples for my language-COUNTRY. pt-BR.
For Movies: &with_title_translation=pt-BR &with_overview_translation=pt-BR
This one I think searches for text in Title, Tagline and Overview. &with_text_query={any text}

Do you already know the new API documentation?
If you don't know it, it would be good to take a walk through it.

Try this
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=${API_key}&query=casino&language=en-US
What baffles me is that I'm getting movies with No-En language with this query ?
Ticao2 any ideas ? Maybe I'm missing something?
I also tried
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=${API_key}&query=casino&language=pt-BR.
Still getting mixed results.
Is this "language=en-US" correct param ?
I couldn't find anything in documentation

@ticao2
Tried following
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=API_Key&query=taxi&with_original_language=en-US&language=en-US
and getting movies in fr (id": 2330, "original_language": "fr",)
Tried different title
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=API_Key&query=casino&with_original_language=en-US&language=en-US
getting movies in cn ( "id": 118385, "original_language": "cn",)
Any other ideas how I can test that ? What am I missing ?
Regards,
Saki
Edit: Tried with https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=API_key&query=casino&with_original_language=en
still getting "original_language": "cn" movies

I see your query examples used "casino" and "taxi".
Are you looking for movies whose title contains these terms?

Yes, Sir I'm looking for movies whose title contains these terms.
I will read the documentation about discover and search you provided If I have any follow up questions, I will let you know.
Thank you very much for your help!
