File path more
rick.ca:
Video files normally contain multiple translations in the same file, so don't expect your two-file situation to be handled by the program. I think the best you can do is save both in the one file path field. Add the native language version first, then the translation. Unfortunately, the video and audio codec information will be for the second file only. Edit Language and Translation so they correctly show the native and translation languages. You might want to record Translation as (for example) "German (second file)" so it's clear the translation is a separate file, rather than a second audio stream in the first file.
Playing these should work fine. The original language version will always play first. If you prefer to view the translation, just skip to the second file.

My solution if I have two copies of a movie is create a second PVD record (use the duplicate command), then edit the Title to reflect the difference (eg. append "(HD)" or "(Eng)" or "(Ger)") and manually set file path to the second copy on the film.
All PVD search, display & Play then work as normal with standard skins.

Treating the other file as episode would satisfy Ivek's needs? No manual steps?

Yes, but at the cost of turning the movies into series.

This would probably require the "manual step" of renaming the files so the scanner would recognize them as episodes. If the renaming doesn't count as a manual step, then I think the effort would be better spent naming the files something like [Title] ([Year]) Language.ext and letting the scanner put them both in File path automatically. This would be particularly efficient considering the files are apparently on different drives.
