can I tell filebot to use "es" Instead of "spa" and "en" instead of 'eng"

[abescalamis]

I use this to rename and add the language code to the srt subtitles {'.'+lang}, but it uses spa and eng, I would prefer ES and EN.

is even possible to make filebot to do that?

Thanks

Yes. You can have your custom format yield 2-letter language codes:

Code: Select all

{'.'+lang.ISO2}

You are awesome thank you

Does this also work with the {subt} binding or for fn:suball?

[rednoah]

No. The suball script does not support custom format expressions at all. If you use --format MATCH_VIDEO_ADD_LANGUAGE_TAG (e.g. i.e. --format constant for -get-subtitles) then you'll always get ISO 639-3 language codes.

You can use -rename --db xattr -non-strict to batch process files offline with your own --format and this way you can change 3-letter language codes to 2-letter language codes.
