Hi all, please, could you help me with language support in API. I am using short language code like this:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/634?language=cs
But in my language, there is missing some descriptions and videos. I wanted to add english language as a spare language. It seems that it is working only in long format like this:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/634?language=cs-CZ%2Cen-US
but not like this
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/634?language=cs%2Cen
Please, could you help me, why there is not working short form of language code? And description is still missing.
Thank you very much.

A spare language in the API Request is not yet possible.
Fallback feature is in the plans.
It will be one of the next to be implemented.

Furthermore, I suggest using the language specification using the language-COUNTRY format.
All information is stored considering language-COUNTRY.
It seems to work much better.
I believe that as there are languages spoken in more than one country, the system works better.
And maybe in the future it will only work like this.
For example:
A Language with Multiple Countries
