Preferred download language "Chinese; Bilingual" - Finn - 2024-09-25
What does this mean?
RE: Preferred download language "Chinese; Bilingual" - Finn - 2024-09-28
Can anyone explain precisely how this setting works?

When Jellyfin goes out to retrieve metadata it uses a different language code.

Code:
chi|zho|zh|Chinese|chinois
chi|zho|ze|Chinese; Bilingual|chinois
chi|zho|zh-tw|Chinese; Traditional|chinois
chi|zho|zh-hk|Chinese; Hong Kong|chinoisThe metadata providers will return different metadata, if it is available with that language code.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Could you explain what the setting "Chinese; Bilingual" does? "Chinese", "Chinese; Traditional" and "Chinese; Hongkong" are self-explanatory but "Chinese; Bilingual" is not.

On the Jellyfin side of things, all it does is use a different language code when requesting metadata from TMDB, TVDB, etc. The result depends on how each metadata provider responds.
The 3rd field is the language code used when generating requests for metadata from online sources. "ze" for bilingual instead of "zh".
Code:
zh Chinese
ze Chinese; Bilingual
zh-tw Chinese; Traditional
zh-hk Chinese; Hong KongI am not Chinese nor do I speak Chinese so I can't provide specific examples of how the results are different.
