Describe the bug

When I add a foreign language film to the library with the english title as file name Jellyfin usually misidentifies the movie. I then try and identify it myself and usually find no match until I use the original title (in the foreign language) then Jellyfin usually finds it immediately. This is frustrating because I will search the foreign language film and then Jellyfin will present me the correct movie with an english title.
To Reproduce

e.g.:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216496/

Add the film "Mother 2009.mp4" in the library
Jellyfin misidentifies with another movie
Manually search title "Mother", don't find a match
Manually search Korean title "Madeo"
Jellyfin will show you the correct Korean movie titled "Mother"
You select it and everything is wonderfull

Expected behavior

Identify the movie correctly, create a bridge between the foreign name of the movie and the english name.
