Why is there no option to download metadata in Japanese from themoviedb? I know it’s there because I put it there. Thanks!
Did you set the library language to Japanese? The metadata downloaded is based on the language defined for that library. If you are trying to mix English and Japanese shows into the same Library, you will not get the results you want. You need to create separate libraries if you want different languages. Otherwise, you could manually match each Japanese show and select Japanese as the language.
Japanese is not in the dropdown list of options for the library if TMDB is set as the database. It’s also not in the list of options when trying to match a series manually if TMDB is chosen as the database.
Japanese apparently can only be used with TVDB, which is an absurdly worthless database for Japanese shows due to their bizarre rules that bear no relation to reality, the large amount of missing data, and their refusal to let people add that data.
Okay, really. As I said in my original post, it’s not possible to select Japanese either for the entire folder or for individual items. …Anyone?
I’m sorry. You are correct and we do not have Japanese as an option for the library. Nor is it available under the agent settings. Let me see if that is intentional. Do you happen to know of Japanese is a supported language by TheMovieDB?
I was able to get some info. Japanese is now supported on TheMovieDB, but was not previously. Plex has not updated our list of languages to include Japanese. An issue has been filed. I’ll update here when there is more news.
same problem here.
i still cannot find the japanese options in the movie database dropdown list.
neither it doesnt allow to choose country as Japan.
does anyone have any updated information?
Just wanna bring this topic back, as today the Japanese language option is still not available yet for TheMovieDB for TV Library.
Further, would also like to suggest providing the option to choose from Traditional Chinese (zh-TW or zh-HK) and Simplified Chinese (zh-CN).

It seems that it has not been fixed yet. Is there any progress?
I understand that there is a priority, but I think it is not a difficult response, so I would like you to respond early.
same problem, I noticed that this problem was founded several years ago, until 2020…
um…
