How to correct bios in different languages?

Hello everyone, I noticed that the text of some biographies differs in different languages: for example, in English there is one biography, and in other languages another. When I want to change the biography, for example in German, I end up in the edit window in English. Does anyone know how to deal with this?

The bios in other languages are automatic. Bios can only be contributed in English. If there are errors in text in other languages you could try posting them here.

Hi @Peter_pbn ! thank you for your answer! I see that bios in other languages are automatic, and l can see that they are different from the english one on the page below: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15032523/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

Just really cannot find the option to flag this to the IMDB team :(

There is no option because automated bios can't be edited. They are based on the other data on the page.

There are also automated bios on English pages if a manual bio has not been added.

Hi @AnnaXYZ,

As @Peter_pbn said, Bios must be written in English as per our guidelines. However, if there are errors in any non-English language bios that need correcting, please provide links to the bios so we may look into them for you.

Cheers!

Thank you for your explanations! 
I want to ask you to review this page, as an example: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15032523/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm
Looks like the translation reflects the initial text, but not the updated one. Have the feeling that it should be corrected, as a person, first of all, is a President, but not the actor, as it said in bios on other languages.
Thanks in advance!

Also, i wanted to check with you - where I should wright in case I found mistakes on other pages? Maybe there is an email for such requests? :) 
Thank you!

Hi @AnnaXYZ,

If you find errors or mistakes on any page on IMDb you can submit corrections via our Contribution Form. This can be accessed by clicking the "Edit page" button on a page which will take you to the form, where you can select which type of item you'd like to correct, add or delete.

Please see our Help Center where guidelines on all of our contribution types are listed.

I hope this helps!
