Fallback language for new movies
posted by simonferndrigerSTAFFMOD on August 2, 2024 at 1:15 PM
I just discovered, that the fallback language for a movie title is the original language. Now in case of 1279752, when language is set to German (de), the user will see a Japanese title which is very confusing. Instead, a fallback to the English title would be more useful I assume in most cases.

Indeed, we don't have any real type of fallback feature. We simply fallback to the original language.
I have an open ticket here for us to start looking at supporting fallback languages.
Thanks.

Thanks! Is it possible that we leave this ticket here open so I can get notified when it's available? Or can I get notified by trello also?
