Hi there,
my Setup is used by multiple users that speak different home languages (German and English). Also my movies are mostly DVDs and Blurays with at least those two languages and subtitles.
So I would like Kodi to use the language according to the home language of the current user (completely). The GUI, audio and subtitles are not a problem (thanks to Kodis Multi-User possibilities).
But the Libraries are still in another language (based on the nfo files during Import). Here I did them in German but would like to be able to show english Informations aswell.
So when an english user is loged in the library displayes the english Content (like Plot, Age Restriction, Title) but when a german user is loged into Kodi the should library display those informations in german.
Is there a way on howto do that (changing code, addons)?
I thought maybe you can extend the nfo files and add language tags. Also extend the databases that there will be stored the different tags (like lang1:title, lang2:title, lang1:plot, lang2:plot ... lang1=en=default, lang2=de). Then within Kodi while scaning and importing the libraries Kodi will recognize the language tags and according to the selected Kodi-menu language the library language will be used aswell. And if there's no language in the database according to the selected user language then use a default language (maybe the first language within the nfo file / database).
Thanks for your help.
