Alternative Language

[rgponce]

Hello, I would like to report a very common problem with scrapped information in languages other than English.

In many cases, TVDB does not have the synopses (plot) in the language set in the settings, leaving the synopsis field empty.

To avoid such problems I would like to request a feature, if the scrapper does not find the information in the selected language, download the information in English.

Agreed. A fallback language should always be provided.

Without ask for too much, a second fallback language option would be nice.
I recently noticed that TVDB now offers two types of Portuguese translations, so the option to leave three options of langguage in options would cover all options.
pt-BR > pt-PT > en-US

I think you should see this TMDb item.
Seeing the Trello list, it should be the next to be implemented.

Thanks! If it is just a new API-option then it's easy to implement. I'll have a look at the link from time to time.
