Changing the name of a movie
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061811 Shows some kind of Dutch movie title, whereas this movie is better known using the original English title "In the heat of the night".
At the bottom of the page there is an [Edit Page] button, but, frankly, I hesitate to go in there and change the name to the English title, not knowing whether at all I am allowed to do so and what the effects may be.
Appreciate views.
Thanks.

Hi marcel_2895030 -
I can confirm that the original title, "In the Heat of the Night", is listed on the title page as the "Original Title" of the film, you can also see this listing under the Alternate Titles section.
By default, you will see titles listed in the language used for release in your country (i.e. US-based users see films listed under the title used for the North American release, while users browsing the site from France see titles as they appeared on the French release of those movies etc.) If you are registered on IMDb.com and you prefer to see original titles, or the title in any other language/country of release by default, you can set your user preferences accordingly.
To change this display, hover over your IMDb Account User Name in the upper right-hand side of the site, you click on your "Account Settings", then select "Content Settings", and you will be redirected to your display settings where you can change the title display.
For more information on Site Preferences I encourage you to review our Help Article.
I hope this helps!

Hi Michelle,
Sorry for the delay.
Super! This is very helpful.
I never went into account settings, hence wasn't aware of this option. I set "Title display language" to English and this also solved another (minor) problem, where English-titles that I have in an Excel-sheet did not correspond with the 'watchlist' .csv export. For example: where my personal Excel list shows 'For a fistful of dollars' - the initial csv watchlist export showed : "Per un pugno di dollari".
Obviously this counts for quite a number of other movies as well.
(Combining my Excel list with the Watchlist.csv is a long and boring story)
Again, thank you very much indeed!
