--- Comment #2 from Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+...@kernel.org> ---
I added limited support for Kaffeine to handle multi-language EPG.
It will now store the language on its EPG database.
On EPG, it will now show the title only at the first language. The detail
window will have both languages (when multiple languages are available).
On OSD, it will show the titles on both languages too (if are there enough
space to display both on a single line).
I didn't add yet an option to allow the user to select its default language.
The reason is that there are a few things to be addressed:
- The title is used by the Kaffeine's record system to check for duplicated
records. with multi-language EPG support, switching the language should not
invalidate existing records;
- Where would be the best place to put a language selection menu? at program
guide? As a button? As a sub-menu?
- The languages are per EPG entry. If one has multiple Digital TV devices, it
may want to select more than one language, with makes the logic very complex;
- The ISO-639 language code at the parental control is actually per Country.
So, on the stream you provided me, there's just one language: FIN; while for
title/subheader/details, there are two: SWE and FIN. I suspect that, on some
places, the code there can be actually different than the language options.
So, I need to think a little bit more in order to see how to better address a
language selection menu.
There's one drawback on this patchset: if you have already an EPG database
stored at ~/.local/share/kaffeine/epgdata.dvb, it will be able to read the old
format, but, as it doesn't know the language, it will add the already existing
data as a new language ("first") during the initial database import. I opted to
do that in order to not break program recordings for people that upgrade
Kaffeine to some version after the language patches. Of course, after a few
days, the EPG data will be obsoleted.
Anyway, the patches that should be addressing this issue are at:

Please test.
