Description of the bug
Episode descriptions for most non-English series are in their native language rather than English.
This is happening to me for almost all non-English series, except for a few that still have episode descriptions in English, and a small number of series that no longer have any information for episodes and are therefore entirely unable to be watched. Just looking through those series in my Library...
Episode descriptions for the South Korean series Squid Game, Island, Vagabond, The Silent Sea, Hellbound, The Uncanny Counter, Black Knight, Alice in Borderland, Hotel del Luna, Kingdom, All of Us Are Dead, My Name, and Sweet Home are in Korean.
Episode descriptions for the anime That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Demon Slayer, Heavenly Delusion, My Hero Academia, Made in Abyss, KamiKatsu, Parasyte, Tokyo Ghoul, Goblin Slayer, Fire Force, Vermeil in Gold, Re:Zero, One Punch Man, and Konosuba and are in Japanese.
However, exceptions I've found are Ergo Proxy, Highschool of the Dead, FLCL, Soul Eater,Hell's Paradise, Cowboy Bebop (1998), and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which have episode descriptions in English.
Episode descriptions for the Spanish series Welcome to Eden are in Spanish. Episode descriptions for the German series Pagan Peak and Dark are in German. Episode descriptions for the Egyptian series Paranormal are in Arabic.
As with anime, there seem to be exceptions, such as episode descriptions for the French series Lupin, which are in English.
Selecting entries for Jujutsu Kaizen, Spy x Family, Overlord, or Devilman: Crybaby results in a screen saying "No information found about this". I get this screen regardless of whether I select these series from my Library or from Search results. This may be an unrelated issue, but appeared at the same time as the language issue and likewise seems to be a problem with the metadata provider.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Search for or navigate to any of the series listed above as having native-language episode descriptions or a complete lack of episode descriptions.
Click on the series to open the episode selection screen.
Either see the "No information found about this" screen, or scroll to any episode to view the non-English episode description.
Expected behavior
Episode descriptions should all be in English (or ideally a language specified by the user, perhaps with a fallback to English if episode descriptions in the specified language aren't available)

Additional context
While episode descriptions are not currently available on the desktop version of Stremio, episode titles of at least some of the non-English series mentioned above are listed in their native language when viewing them in the desktop version of Stremio on Linux. It seems likely that when the desktop interface is fixed so that episode descriptions are once again viewable that this issue with non-English series will apply to desktop as well.
