[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 543430, member: 18896"] Another solution would be to make the scraper aware of the non-English language it comes across when it has finished scraping the English page. Then it would check if that language has their own scraper and immediatly start a new scrape with that one. It would mean double the amount of scraping if you only have non-English movies, but that would be imho a much easier way to implement, then rely on all the custom ways that users might have stored their files to indicate different languages. This double scraping also adds the benefit that when a non-English movie doesn't have a complete entry on all the fields on say for example imdb.es that the scraper would simply leave alone the English scraper information that was added already for those respective fields. I would think that most users would prefer a combination of non-English, with English for the missing fields to make a more complete entry. Of course saying something is easy to add doesn't make it so, so I'll leave it up to the brilliant programmers to decide on that :D [/QUOTE]
