In Progress

Why does the system automatically add languages to pictures?

Hello.

I added a new title today and then a poster picture today.

When adding the picture I added Language "Norwegian" and Country "Norway",

Why has the system then automatically added "Swedish" to languages on the picture?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39903321/mediaviewer/rm19848194/?ref_=tt_ov_i

This is not the first time this has happened, I have seen lot of pictures with Norwegian text and for some reason "German" has been added to the picture description etc. 

So I am asking if there is a system fault here, (not for help to remove the wrong language.)

(Unfortunately I don't have the reference number since it can't be found in my update history.)

Just for information:

language detection for images is done automatically by an API, supported by the language additions that users make to images. Unfortunately sometimes the API will incorrectly tag a language where it is not needed.

@Peter_pbn​ Thanks for the useful link, that explains why there are so many mistaken language taggs on pictures... Hope they can fix it :-)

I do wonder if these API-added languages are protected and if that's the reason that the removal of wrong languages is rather hard (examples: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/search?q=Language%20not%20removed%20from%20picture%20while%20only%20a%20name%20is%20listed%20)
