I tried doing the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) twice.  
Once with the files in the same folder location and once again with the files in different locations (as shown in my last post) but to no avail.

I believe it has something to do with the fact that Plex automatically merges duplicates, which in general is a good thing, but in my case I would wish for a feature that lets users turn that off.

Thanks again for the help. Interested to see what you can get out of the scenario.

The seperate library is not really an option for me. I don’t see the sense in it for just one or two movies 🙂  
For now I just renamed the German one manually so it’s displayed with the German name. However the metadata is still in English. Of course it would be nice if the metadata were also in German but at least the title is in German this way and you can search for it that way.
