Search for movie and series titles in all languages and/or original language - funkyfunked - 2024-01-09

Hello,

I'm using Jellyfin in a multi- language setup, which means I have some movies with local german titles, some with the original title, and some with english titles.

Is there a function planned or even already in the nightlies to make it possible to find movie titles via search in different languages, even if they are scraped in a different language?


Example: I have the movie "Finding Nemo" scraped with the german title ("Findet Nemo"). If I search with Jellyfin for the original english title (which is also stored as "original title" in my .nfo), there is no result.

Would be cool if I can find the movie with whatever language title there is via search, at least the ones that are in the .nfo, in the end it's the same movie.

Cheers

for characters there is unicode normalization which translates accented characters; i do not believe this is in use

that however would not directly translate movie titles from their german counterparts, suggest if your library is setup in german then you search in german (and not in spanish f.e.) because jellyfin doesn't search for alternate titles for movies nor does it do language translation
