Language attributes to be displayed
Currently, when one submits a language entry for any title, it is possible to include an attribute associated with that language.
However, as discussed in the thread at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/attributes-for-languages-displayed/61f86e2423c1a32f12df4728 , the language attributes are stored in the database, but not displayed anywhere. So, for example, for a German-language film in the Swabian dialect, Die 1000 Glotzböbbel vom Dr. Mabuse (2018), the language of German is displayed but not the attribute of (Swabian dialect), even though the database has that information.
So I am recommending that IMDb find a way to restore the language attribute information to be displayed again. Or, if that isn't going to be done, please remove the Attribute column from the language section of the submission form, because there's no point in encouraging people to submit information that isn't going to be made available.

For example, this for The Artist is not helpful:

Hopefully (and FWIW of course) more people will vote for this idea.

I could merge my old idea post into this if you wish.

This thread needs a bump. I note also that the submissions guide for languages says, "We will list any language spoken. If necessary, please use a qualifying attribute such as (a few words), (a few lines), (song), etc."
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/languages/GSCRBZYEH5NX5SXL#
But there is no point in asking contributors to use a qualifying attribute for languages unless the attributes for languages are going to be displayed.
