English Titles for Forgeign TV Shows etc.
Hi everyone.
Just a suggestion. I know others have asked before, but, if, or when, does IMDb think it might be able to allow us, as contributors, to add an alternate title? I am working on a foreign series now and every time I select a new episode, I think, why is the plot in English, but an alternate title, not? I'm not suggesting change the title from its country of origin, just to make an alternate one in English, given everything else on IMDb is.
Thanks IMDb'ers!

You should not simply translate the language and submit based on your interpretation. It has to be an actual release.
The plot is in English because it's a English language site and users need to author additions in English. At title, however is a title. It's what the filmmaker has decided it should be and users should not make assumptions or interpretations but only submit facts.

Yes, I understand ALL the submission guidelines as I've been contributing on foreign movies for some time.. I was simply asking, if at any point in time, IMDb, may consider having and 'aka' for titles that originated in a foreign. That was all.

I think it would be great for TV series, just as bluesmanSF showed, regarding movies. Maybe one day.
Thanks to both for your input, much appreciated.
