It looks like the API call for images is incorrect and always defaults back to English. The developer @olympia will need to check this.

In the mean time you should change to TheMovieDatabase-Python scraper and use that scraper.

@Karellen Thanks for the quick reply. I actually tried TMDB python scraper as well, before I made my initial post. Setting default language to either English or Chinese fails to pull in the Chinese posters on that scraper too.

Worked for me. Provide a Debug Log

Works for me with UMS - what language code are you selecting for tmdb image language? You should use "zh".
I can confirm that UMS does not download German fanart. But the problem has existed for a while. I'm taking the film here "7 Dwarfs - Men Alone in the Forest" This film has a German clear logo. Both at Fanrt.tv and at tmdb. This is not loaded by UMS. Instead, the English logo is loaded, although German has been set.

I tried both en and zh. Odd that it worked for you but Karallen said the UMS API was searching english by default.

As I said, it works with "zh"- If it doesn't for you, then you set language in the wrong place.

This is a completely unrelated issue, so I don't see what does this confirm here?!

Nevertheless, based on this report I confirm there is a bug blocking to fetch non-English images from fanart.tv. I will get this fixed. However, even if I fix this, it will not solve this particular movie, because UMS only fetch HD art and seven dwarf only has a very low res image in German.
Regarding clearlogos from tmdb - well, this has never been supported by UMS Smile

Is there anywhere else I can even set the language TMDB scraper uses for art besides here? I also set it on the Fanart.tv tab to zh as well for good measure but still no luck.
I also tried changing the preferred language to zh-cn, zh-hk and zb-tw but can never get the additional posters.

Oh sorry, you were referring to UMS, here are those settings as well:

I'm not a scraper guy, but I have been working with tmdb api lately so tool a look.

AFAICT, that log shows tmdb-python scraper being used and it finds a url-nfo file with an imbd id in it and that is what is being queried.  I see logged in there:
Code:
"fanarttv_language":"en"
"language":"en-US"

but I don't see metadata.universal getting used??

scott, thanks for taking a look. I also noticed the nfo file in my previous tries so I removed it from the folder and tried again, before I made my initial post, but that did not work. Since you saw it again in my logs I tried removing the nfo file from the folder, running both video database cleaner as well as kcleaner (just in case something was being cached somewhere) and scraping again but still no luck  Confused

It was back then, its not now as you followed scott's suggestion and it did not work, so we need to see those changes in the log and what prevented it from working.
For the next log, instead of running the Update Library, navigate to the movie in Videos>Files and press i on your keyboard which will scrape only that movie, not the entire library.
