Arabic AKA title

Dear IMDB

You have Arabic title options for some countries, like Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia but not for Saudi Arabia.

Is there a reason for it and do you have plans to have an option for it too?

Thanks.

Are you saying you tried to contribute an alternate title for Saudi Arabia and encountered a problem? If so, what message did you see?

In other words, this screenshot would illustrate the problem you're reporting?

Hey - I've updated this to be an idea so that our tech teams can see that this is something that our users would like. I can't offer any timescales or guarantees for implementation at this time.

Grayson, shouldn't this be added, no matter what? Obviously, it's very possible that in the country Saudi Arabia a film will have its own title, just like this is very possible for every other country in the world. To me, this is the same as adding a language to IMDb that wasn't in the dropdown menu before, so there's no need to have a poll about it. It's data that is currently missing from the database and should be added to it so contributors can add more data to the database. Obviously I understand it might take time to have it added, but it should be added, with or without votes for this idea.

Yes. Same goes for Bahrain and other countries (that have distinct Arabic from those countries)
