Description

Problem

I pulled Dear You and it's original title (chinese) did not get pulled with it.

I am not sure if "给阿嬷的情书" should have been added to 'title' and "Dear You" to 'englishTitle'. 'title" has always been the same as 'englishTitle'. (My TMDB account was not set to english when I pulled)
-> If this is rather a bug, feel free to relabel.

Proposal

I'd like to have the following fields:

  • originalTitle (or just 'title')
  • englishTitle (and/or [language]Title for personal settings. I would like to be able to pull more than one alternative language)

Context

I am essentially asking to expand the 'japaneseTitle' property. I don't think I really use it and am a bit sad about leaving other languages to manual insertion.

Research direction

Start by tracing the TMDB import for the linked Dear You movie and inspect how the japaneseTitle, title, and englishTitle properties are populated. Determine how original and configured-language titles should be represented, then verify that the imported record exposes the agreed fields without losing existing title behavior.
