No standard language.

Hi Guys,

Quick question, but how do we determine the language spoken in this series? https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/38573/folklore

All episodes are aired in the local language of the actual folklore (which means that one episode is in Thai, one in Japanase and another may be in Bahasa). Are we just leaving it blank?

I would leave it blank, seems to be the most logical option!

Or have Various as an option. How many shows would this impact? Never heard of something like this before ... so I assume there's subtitles in various languages for all episodes?

In the description it states "with English and local-language subtitles."

Having a various option, whilst seemingly fine would probably easily get abused - i.e Netflix, for it's own shows has the original language plus lots of Dubbed languages. IMO, we'd only want various to be used when the original language varies from episode to episode.

In terms of how many shows, the only other recent one I've seen is Future History: 1968 where they made some episodes in English and some in Russian.

I'd say leave it empty as well.
