[Request] Changing language of titles shown #745

Closed stnowak closed 1 month ago

stnowak commented 1 month ago

There is no way to change the language of titles, descriptions etc.

I propose making it possible to set the language in the preferences and allow choosing the priority of different languages. For example set English as primary language and French, Polish or any other language as secondary (when there is no English title, description etc.)

At the moment it seems that Chinese is set as primary since for example even when I copy the link from IMDb set to English, in NeoDB it defaults do Chinese.

Hi, it's already supported. if the item has title in both Chinese and English, one of them will be displayed based on the user preference or browser settings (if not logged in).

Occasionally language detection failed for IMDB entries, English title was detected as something else like Dutch. That is a different issue #737 , and I haven't find a better solution for it, open for suggestions/PR.
