Hello,

I have a request if possible to add one more column for movie original language not spoken language from TMDB

Example 

500 days of summer in current scenario scraped as (English, French, Swedish ) but it's only English
this will help to detect all movies with different language especially for people with huge library 

Thanks

I only get information for spoken language
If you can guide me how to get the original language will be helpful
Thanks for the response

[mlaggner]

please define "original language"
the spoken languages field does indicate which languages are spoken in the original version (non translated) of the movie

please have look in the below 2 links spoke language if someone spoke any other language in the movie will appear in IMDB but original language will get the movie language regardless any different languages on the movie

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1022603/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

also I have tried to use TMDB scraper but same result (spoken language)

Thanks

Would that be different from the first item in spoken language?
You can filter to English-language movies using "^English" (or "^en" with IMDb) in language filter as it supports regex.

Out of curiosity, I checked what that field means, but it seems causing confusion even among the mods of the site whether it's the language of film, country, or title:

https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5c601a8f...1deb6c1228

Perhaps the first item of spoken language is more consistent than using the field.

not necessary the first language be the original movie language of the movie 

don't confuse your self but TMDB showing original language (one language will be in the description) ,but IMDB shows all language in the movie as spoken language

IMDb submission rule states that "If more than one language was spoken please enter them in order of frequency such that the main language is entered first." (https://help.imdb.com/article/contributi...EH5NX5SXL#)
I didn't watch the movie so I don't know which language is more frequently used. If English should be the latter, it just means somebody made an error while entering language for the movie.
Occasionally you will see such inaccurate tagging, but that doesn't mean first language means nothing.

that make sense thanks a lot for the clarification

Hi, 

Please, let me take back this threath again, even thought it has been a lot of clarification.  However, I still see some cases of inconsistency.

It we look at this movie in TMDB, you can see the original language is Spanish:  https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/102744-...en-am-rica

Hoewer, if I scrape the movie in TMDB, the information I get is that spoken languages are French and Spanish (in this order)



Besides, when exporting from TMM to csv with a template, I get also "French, Spanish".

So, it doesn't show spanish in first place, which should be the case.

Is there any way to capture just from TMDB the Original Language?

[tars]

I don't think TMDb lists spoken languages in order of frequency at least according to their manual (https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/movie/5...6e71000009).
Also the Original Language field they use is not the same as the main spoken language. If you had read the posts that I linked in my post, you must have already read this:
 


If you're interested in the main spoken language of movies, scraping it from IMDb would work better.

Thanks for your response @tars
