Issue Summary: When using the language parameter 'es-ES' with the endpoint https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/{person_id}/combined_credits, the crew fields in the response are displayed in English instead of Spanish.

Steps to Reproduce:

Make a request to the combined_credits endpoint using the language parameter set to 'es-ES'.
Check the response for crew fields language consistency.

Expected Behavior:

All fields, including crew-related information, should be displayed in Spanish ('es-ES') when the language parameter is set accordingly.

Actual Behavior:

Crew fields in the response are shown in English, regardless of the 'es-ES' language parameter.

Oh, you're talking about the job names?

We don't translate those on the API currently.
