How to force poster artwork to a specifi language

Hey.
So my issue is that I’m Portuguese, but if I check the “Prefer artwork based on library language” option on any library, the artwork is shown in brazilian portuguese, not european Portuguese.
This might not seem like a big deal from the outside, but the thing is that if I do this, the names of the shows and movies will show different than their respective covers, since in Brazil they translate the titles differently (and badly IMO most of the time).
So I was wondering how can I force Plex to fetch the artwork in PT-PT instead of PT-BR.

Do note that my main library language is already PT-PT:

The sources for posters which are used in Plex don’t distinguish between different regions. They only know the language Portuguese.
If Plex is asking for a Portuguese poster, they deliver that – completely oblivious to the fact that they are delivering Brazilian Portuguese posters.

Plex can only start distiguishing automatically between different regional poster variants, when these differences are in some way tagged on the posters. Currently they are not.
The only way is to either:

  • edit the movie on e.g. TheMovieDB.org and “dislike” the Brazilian poster
  • edit the movie in your library and select another psoter which has the correct regional movie title

Well. I don’t “dislike” the posters. They’re simply on a different language.

So what you’re saying it that either I have to learn how to live with my entire library in weirdly translated portuguese, or in english or simply donwload the arwork on my own manually for my entire collection?

Yes. As I explained above, Plex is unable to distinguish.
