GET /series/{id} returning title with "en" title instead of the specified lang

[br0k3]

Thanks for keeping us informed.

The issue I described still exists.

In the latest "Known Issues Log & Status" topic this thread is marked as fixed:

GET /series/{id} returning title with "en" title instead of the specified lang — Released 1/8 | related forum thread

But the issue still exists. Do I have to open a seperate thread or is this already in your ticket system? I guess these are two different bugs.

Issue still persists. All Norwegian shows (language ID: 9) returns English title instead of Norwegian:

Code: Select all

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Accept-Language: no' --header 'Authorization: Bearer [TOKEN]' 'https://api.thetvdb.com/series/300820'

Response is in English, instead of Norwegian:

Code: Select all

API still returns English info when requesting specifically Norwegian, like the post above.
This seems limited to Norwegian, because other nordic languages return correct.

Can anyone take a look at this?

[Gyldendahl]

Okay, I have researched this a bit further, and it seems that you have mixed up the different Norwegian language codes internally in the API.

The API returns the following as valid info,

Code: Select all

      "id": 9,
      "abbreviation": "no",
      "name": "Norsk bokmål",
      "englishName": "Norwegian"

But the correct language code for "Norsk Bokmål" is 'nb', not 'no', and when I use the language code 'nb' in the API requests, I get the correct Norwegian info in response.


You seem to have half-way changed from Norsk 'no' to Norsk Bokmål 'nb', when upgrading the API.

Hi,

Yes, you are technically right. In the past, we actually stored both no and nb previously and a user pointed out that other users were mixing stuff up between the choices. The decision was made to combine both no and nb into a single language called Norwegian (no) and put all the records together into that. I've run it past our devs and I think we will stick to this decision. Apologies for the confusion.

Hi,

Thank you for responding to this.

This is all well and good, but is it not a bug that I do not get the correct Norwegian info when using 'no', but instead get the correct info when using 'nb'?
Especially since the API returns 'no' as the valid abbreviation.

Do I start using 'nb' instead of 'no'?

You should use "no."

[Gyldendahl]

You should use "no."

Then it is a bug that is known and will be fixed, that it returns english info when I use 'no'?

I'l ticket this. I see translations in NO against the series and the first three episodes.
