Bad display of an alternative title
In the alternative title section of the movie « the good, the bad and the ugly » from Sergio Leone, someone added a « new title » without mentioning the country : « Yaxshi, Yomon va Badjahl ». On the mobile version of IMDB, any AKA title without a country appears at the top of the page, before the original title. As the language of this alternative title is unknown and probably quite rare, it’s a bit disturbing. I made the contribution 210222-010324-490000 to remove this title, but it was refused with the mention « Unable to verify » Can you please remove this title ?

Google Translate recognizes it as Uzbek: https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=it&text=Yaxshi%2C%20Yomon%20va%20Badjahl&op=translate (I'm not saying Google Translate is perfect...)

Hi, can anyone from IMDB answer this post? I made a contribution of addition which has been accepted, so the Uzbek title « Yaxshi, yomon, badjahl » is now properly associated to its country as a main title (210222-180512-683000). I indeed found it was used on Uzbek web sites. However, the title with no country, which is the cause of my post, is still there at the top of the AKA page for this famous movie, before the original English title (which can trouble users). Here is my contribution of deletion I kindly ask you to handle to avoid a duplication: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/210222-010324-490000 Moreover, after investigation, I found that the previous Uzbek title displayed as main title on IMDb (« Yaxshi, yomon, badbashara ») is barely used in Uzbekistan. I did not find it on Uzbek film websites for this movie. It could explain why a user wanted to change the main title for this country (but it did not properly work when he tried). So, it will be better to move this title to alternative title instead of main title for this country. I made a contribution for that but it was also rejected with the reason « Unable to verify ». Can you also handle it? https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/210223-123439-467000 Then, it will be fully clean. There will only be one title as main title for Uzbekistan (there is currently two main titles for this country, as you did not accept my contribution to move one of them to alternative title). Finally, as I suggested earlier on this post, it will be nice that, in future, IMDB makes an evolution to display the title with no country of affiliation at the bottom of the « AKA titles » and not at the top of the page, because it is the first title we see, even before the original title of the movie (it disturbs users). It’s indeed KO on the Smartphone app of IMDB (whatever the IOS is), only OK on the desktop version. I thank IMDB in advance to handle these 2 rejected contributions (deletion plus change of attribute), as well as my evolution proposal.

As I had no news from IMDB to my post, I made another contribution of deletion for this title without country of affiliation and this contribution was accepted: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/210302-184749-471000 So everything is fine now and I close this post
