Connect language selection to TMDB API movie filtering

[Copilot]

Language selection in settings only changed UI language, not the language of movies fetched from TMDB API. Selecting English still showed German movies.

Changes

• LanguageUtil: Added getTmdbLanguageCode() method mapping Language enum to TMDB API codes (EN→en-US, DE→de-DE, AR→ar-SA, PL→pl-PL)

• FilmRepository.getTopMovies(): Replaced static ApiConfig.TMDB_LANGUAGE with dynamic LanguageUtil.getTmdbLanguageCode()

• TMDbService: Updated all TMDB API methods to use dynamic language from LanguageUtil. Added FALLBACK_LANGUAGE constant to replace hardcoded "en-US" strings.

Behavior

When user saves language preference, SettingsController reloads the root view, triggering SearchController reinitialization. Subsequent TMDB API calls use the selected language code, returning region-appropriate popular movies.

// Before
String url = BASE_URL + "/movie/popular?api_key=" + apiKey + "&language=" + ApiConfig.TMDB_LANGUAGE;

// After  
String url = BASE_URL + "/movie/popular?api_key=" + apiKey + "&language=" + LanguageUtil.getTmdbLanguageCode();

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• jitpack.io

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
