The scraper will look for poster images in the language set (either preferred language or preferred language - images), then for English posters as a fall back.  That's the opposite of what you thought apparently.  I don't understand why you have the preferred language and the preferred language (images) set to the same thing.  That's the same as just setting the preferred language.  And since it's set to en-US, you will only get images that have English posters.

Thanks for taking a look. I am not sure what the proper way is to set these options then. I don't have a choice to leave either of the preferred language options blank, so I tried just unchecking Use different languages for images but when I scraped the series again it still did not pick up the foreign language posters. I don't want to set the preferred language for images to Dutch for example, just so it can pick up the foreign art for this series, because I also watch k-dramas, hindi shows, German shows, etc. I want it to scrape english artwork first and if there is none then scrape whatever foreign language art is available.

There is no setting that will get you what you want.  That's not how it works.  English will always be the fallback, not the reverse.

The best I can suggest for it is to split them into folders by language, add them all as sources, and set the scraper per source to the language for that folder.  You'll have to go the TheMovieDB site and figure out which ones have English posters so that they go in the English folder, then put everything else is folders for whatever language you want.

It's a horribly manual process, but it's the only way I can figure that you can do the opposite of what the scraper is designed to do.

Got it. I'll decide how I will handle it, or maybe just bite the bullet on this one series and have it missing a couple of posters for the time being. Once again, I appreciate the help.

Why not just download the posters and save them as local artwork?

Yeah, that's what I wound up doing since I us Artwork Dowloader anyway.

Hello
Does it possible to automatically write "France:" instead of "Rated" in the MPAA rating when the FR language is used ?

Change the "Certification Prefix" in settings.

I wanted to make everyone aware of a fix that should be rolling out as we speak.  Thanks to a community member, we identified a bug that meant that if you had separate sources with separate settings, the first source scraped had its settings used for all sources.  The only way to reset this was a restart, but then you just got whatever settings the first source scraped had, which could be different than the last time.

We identified the root cause (re-using the Python interpreter between scrapes to speed up processing) and a fix (settings are now grabbed right when needed using a function call rather than an imported global variable).  No changes to your setup are required.  Once you upgrade to 1.7.0, all source settings will be respected.
