# Subtitle Language Collections

The `subtitle_language` Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the subtitle 
languages available in your library.

## Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - default: subtitle_language
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - default: subtitle_language
```

## Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to 
make your own local copy.

Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults 
work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

??? abstract "Variable Lists (click to expand)"

    * **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults file.

    * **Shared Template Variables** are additional variables shared across the Kometa Defaults.

    * **Shared Separator Variables** are additional variables available since this Default contains a 
    [Separator](../separators.md).

        1. Each default collection has a `key` [see here]() that you must replace 
        `<<key>>` with when using this template variable.  These keys are found in the table at the top of this page.

    === "Shared Template Variables"

        {%
          include-markdown "../collection_variables.md"
        %}

    === "Shared Separator Variables"

    The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        collection_files:
          - default: subtitle_language
            template_variables:
              use_other: false #(1)!
              use_separator: false #(2)!
              exclude:
                - fr  #(3)!
              sort_by: title.asc
    ```

    1.  Do not create an "Other Audio" collection
    2.  Do not create an "Audio Language Collections" separator
    3.  Exclude "French" from having an Audio Collection

## Default Values

Unless you customize them as described above, these collections use default lists and searches to create the collections.

If you are interested in customizing the default values, you can find that information [here](#template-variables).

If you are interested in seeing what those default builders are, you can find that information [here](../sources.md).
