Use the country of a movie as context to guess the language

We use TMDb's spoken language or the movie's original language depending. https://wiki.servarr.com/radarr/faq#how-does-radarr-handle-foreign-movies-or-foreign-titles

This seems to be an issue with TMDb incorrectly reporting the movie's language data more than a radarr issue...no?

what movie(s) are examples of this issue?

Let me share an screenshot just to make sure that I'm referring to the correct thing.

The above movie is this one: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/446159-bacurau

But I believe this happens for any brazilian movie. Here is a small list of some other movies in my library with the same issue:

• https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/67612-deus-e-o-diabo-na-terra-do-sol
• https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/86320-cabra-marcado-para-morrer
• https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/186738-o-bandido-da-luz-vermelha
• https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/186738-o-bandido-da-luz-vermelha

This is going to be an issue, because TMDB and mediainfo for the file has just Portuguese.

I was afraid that was the case :(

My idea would be using the field origin_country from TMDB API (https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-details) to make the disambiguation. If the original_language from TMDB (or the audio stream of the file) is pt [Portuguese] and BR is in the origin_country list, we assign the language as pt-BR [Portuguese (Brazil)].

Here is an example of the output for the movie Bacurau (truncated to highlight only the relevant part of he response):
Request: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/446159
Response:

...
  "id": 446159,
  "imdb_id": "tt2762506",
  "origin_country": [
    "BR"
  ],
  "original_language": "pt",
  "original_title": "Bacurau",
...

So, the original_language is pt, and the origin_country is BR, so the language should be pt-BR.
