The series in my anime library all show the names of seasons in Japanese even though it is supposed to be English.
-The language of the library is set to English
-Scanner and Agent are both Plex Tv Series
-Use season titles is checked
-Use original titles is unchecked (this setting Uses the original titles for all items regardless of the library language.)

I contacted the TVDB and they told me to report it to Plex’s Support Channel to see if it is a bug with the API or a Caching issue

AFAIK it is a bug with the TheTVDB API. They simply won’t deliver translated season titles.

You cannot, unless you overwrite the season titles yourself.

how long has this been a bug and have they acknowledged that it needs to be fixed

Not sure about the v3 API, but it’s available in v4’s /seasons/{id}/extended endpoint for at least a year:

curl -X 'GET' 'https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/seasons/814054/extended?meta=translations' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer XXX'

Just curious if this will be fixed in the near future? Like will TTVDB Api v4 be used for this or is something else planned? Otherwise the feature of named seasons is quite useless IMO.
