Episodes' Titles of a Turkish Series

Should the Episodes' Titles of a Turkish Series be translated to English language? I have come accross such a case and either the episodes titles were translated into English or the title was released with a dubbed version. Which is correctly applicable in IMDb? Cheers!

Hi Malagaaunike. IMDb uses the original title of a movie/show in its original language as it appears on screen (on the title card) in the opening credits. So all alternative titles found on posters, DVD boxes, reference books, trailers, websites, re-releases, etc. are irrelevant [https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/title-formatting/G56U5ERK7YY47CQB#]. If a Turkish production was originally released in English language and the same is used for the title in the base, then you can add an alternative title in Turkish language [https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/alternate-titles-akas/GBFBWTQG2RLMHSUR#]. If originally Turkish title is represented in English by mistake, then you can submit a correction to the main title; in such case please follow the official guidelines [https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/title-corrections/G7J57QHX9CAN989N#corrections]. I hope the above links in brackets will be helpful.

They are Helpful when it applies to the Main title. My question is specifically about Episode title. The series I am referring to is Sarmasik Zamani(2023), a TOD production, released on VOD platform in Turkey and Qatar only, and all its episodes' titles have been translated to English language. All Episodes' titles for this series appear on-screen in Turkish language. So, I would like an IMDb answer on this matter.

The "main title" (or primary title) means the original title of a movie/show in its original language as it appears on screen in the opening credits. The "alternate title" (or alternative title, or AKA) means any other title how a movie/show was further named in other languages, or in the same language but when re-released, and all other possible cases. A series has its own primary title which you see on the series page, and you can add alternate titles to any series. And episodes also have their own primary titles, but there is no option to add alternate titles to episodes. In your situation, you need just edit the primary titles, if they should be in Turkish, for each episode of the series.

Thank you @MAthePA. I will proceed to correct each episode title. Hopefully, this series is "only" of 16 episodes. Cheers!
