How to rename chapters to exclude language tagging? - michaelwesten - 08.10.2025

I'm unable to find settings for this.
My goal is to export .mkv output with a chapter menu that does not have language tags appended to the front of the chapter names.
The current behavior is the software appends a language tag even if there already is one.
Example input --> en:Chapter 01
Outputs as --> en:en:Chapter 01
I would like it to output as simply "Chapter 01" without language tag appended, let alone the extra one that keeps getting added

Thanks

Given your description, I have no clue what you are doing.
Hybrid does not have a concept of languages for chapters.
Hybrid does not add a language short to chapter names.
Hybrid does not have any ability to create a 'chapter menu' (<= not sure what you want to describe with that phrase).
=> Provide proper details (read the sticky) if you hope for help.

I'm using a source input .mkv and re-encoding it
the input also includes a chapter menu that I'm passing thru to the re-encoded output .mkv
The mkv remuxer within Hybrid does have a concept of languages for the chapter menu, the same as mkvtoolnix does
Screenshots here showing the hybrid chapter tab and chapter editor, and the mediainfo of both the input file and the output file

no debug output => not enough details

I checked some old files with chapters and mediainfo now shows them too as for example:
Menu
00:00:00.000                             : en:Prologue
00:00:40.916                             : en:Opening
00:02:20.932                             : en:Asura Cryin' - Part I
00:12:08.936                             : en:Asura Cryin' - Part II
00:21:59.817                             : en:Ending
00:23:29.741                             : en:Preview
seems like mediainfo changed and I wasn't aware of it.
=> I'll look into it.

Uploaded a new dev, which should throw out the chapter language info from the mediainfo output.
