create an text file with différent language for the same png file

Or ...

<genres>
  <genre name="horreur">horror</genre>
  <genre name="épouvante">horror</genre>
  <genre name="orrore">horror</genre>
  <genre name="ужасы">horror</genre>
  <genre name="comédie">comedy</genre>
  <genre name="komodie">comedy</genre>
  <genre name="комедия">comedy</genre>
</genres>

That could/should go into the language files

I do not think. I have a genre in Russian, English and French can be.
Better one global file. I do not think he will be very large.

Something similar could be done for the studio, the pictures would have been smaller.
Like:

<studios>
  <studio name="Bedford Falls Company, The">Bedford Falls</studio>
  <studio name="The Bedford Falls Company">Bedford Falls</studio>
  <studio name="Bedford Falls Company">Bedford Falls</studio>
  ...
</studios>

But there are more than 1,500 pictures. Titanic work.

regex ?

the xml file was my first idea, but don't know if was more easy than text file.

<icon name="horror">
  <genre name="horror"/> // EN
  <genre name="horreur"/> // FR
  <genre name="épouvante"/> // FR
  <genre name="orrore"/> // IT
  <genre name="ужасы"/> // RU
</icon>
<icon name="comedy">
  <genre name="comedy"/>
  <genre name="comédie"/>
  <genre name="komodie"/>
  <genre name="комедия"/>
</icon>

Why????? Why extra file (xml) when picture name is more then sufficient???

You need 1 file for every language or a big one with all languages - that´s why I suggested to put it directly in every language file

On Windows 10 FH working like a dream with backdropped, I've included logs...Doubt you need them though.

Thanks for all the time you've spent helping with this.

Because the studios are so many repetitions, the same image with different names. With umlauts, no umlauts, with prefixes in front, without prefix, etc. The processing speed would be higher. A space occupied less. And problems with the file names would be even less.

If there is a lot of files, I'll have to handle them all. And since one file and no problem

the xml file was my first idea, but don't know if was more easy than text file.

A flat structure is simpler and more versatile.

Those are the original names of the studios - in DWHD I have more than 2500, the processing is damn fast (thx to your work), and I don´t see any reason to change that.
With genres it´s totally different, because genres need a translation, therefore the genre file is necessary
