How to manage TV Shows Seasons and voice languages?

Hello, I have some shows who have multiple seasons but only one season appears in Plex, how can I add the second season to the seasons menu ? The files are like this : TV Shows/TV Show Name S1/01.mp4
And also I have some shows with different languages (Japanese and French), only one language shows at the same time. I would like to change languages the same way I change subtitles.
The files are like this : TV Shows/TV Show Name/French/01.mp4

Not the best naming. This will likely give you all kinds of problems.

Should be more like this.

TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 01/TV Show Name - s01e01.mp4
TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 01/TV Show Name - s01e02.mp4
TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 01/TV Show Name - s01e03.mp4
TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 01/TV Show Name - s01e04.mp4

TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 02/TV Show Name - s02e01.mp4
TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 02/TV Show Name - s02e02.mp4
TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 02/TV Show Name - s02e03.mp4
TV Shows/TV Show Name/Season 02/TV Show Name - s02e04.mp4

Example from the above article.

/TV Shows
   /Grey's Anatomy
      /Season 01
         Grey's Anatomy - s01e01.avi
         Grey's Anatomy - s01e02 - The First Cut is the Deepest.avi
         Grey's Anatomy - s01e03.mp4
      /Season 02
         Grey's Anatomy - s02e01.avi
         Grey's Anatomy - s02e02.mkv
         Grey's Anatomy - s02e03.m4v

Again, not good. Plex doesn’t know what French is.
You have some options on how to get plex to handle these correctly.
The easiest would be to name the series(using the names you provided)

For your french

TV Shows/TV Show Name [French]/Season 01/s01e01.mp4

And your japanese

TV Shows/TV Show Name [Japanese]/Season 01/s01e01.mp4

Plex will find both series and combined(merge) them together. You will need to split them apart(unmerge) them from plex.
