Hi! I’d like to suggest an improvement regarding localization.

When using Simkl through third-party apps such as Nuvio, titles returned by Simkl are usually shown in English, even when the app and the user’s preferred language are set to Spanish.

Would it be possible for the Simkl API to support localized metadata based on the user’s preferred language?

For example, it would be great to have an optional language parameter such as:

language=es-ES

so the API could return, whenever available:

Localized movie and TV show titles
Localized anime titles
Localized posters/artwork
Possibly localized descriptions/overviews

If localized metadata is not available, it could simply fall back to the original or English version.

This would make Simkl integrations feel much more native for users outside English-speaking countries.

Is something like this already planned, or would it be possible to add it to the API roadmap?

Thanks!

There are tools to allow the comunity to contribute to their language localization for the UI so the dev team may not have to suport all translations.

I support this idea and would specifically like Japanese localization.
Please separate:

Interface language: Japanese
Preferred metadata language: Japanese
Country/region: Japan
Fallback language: English or original language

Chrome’s automatic translation can translate Simkl’s menus, but it also incorrectly translates official show titles.
When Japanese metadata exists in TVDB or TMDB, please display Japanese series titles, movie titles, episode titles and episode overviews.

This is important to me, and I think it would be a great way to stand out from Trakt, which is starting to offer other languages in its new version.
