Solved

Minibio updated, approved by IMDB, but still not available on my profile

I've already updated my Bio (last corrections made earlier this morning) but the newest one isn't available on my profile page (nm0023207). Could you please help me understand why this is happening and also how it could be fixed, in order to display my updated bio?

Maya, could you please send me the link to the page where the corrections are available? I kindly ask you because for me the Bio remains the automatic version: https://www.imdb.com/pt/name/nm0023207/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_ql_1 Thanks.

@Jose_AlvarengaJr- This bio is the one you originally submitted and with the corrections submission you sent us we were able to see that it was approved. Can you post the changes/corrections that you are trying to make to this bio but are not showing?

Maya, the problem is that this bio does not appear when people access my profile page on IMDb. Herewith I send you (copy and paste) of the content that is in there: "José Alvarenga Jr. é conhecido pelo seu trabalho em Divã (2009), Força-Tarefa (2009) e Supermax (2016)." *** Now, what I've submitted, IMDb have approved, but is not available when people access my profile page: "José Alvarenga Junior is a director of commercials, films, and television programs. He also works as a producer and screenwriter. He is known for his work on the iconic series Os Normais (2001-2003) (2002), Divã (2009) (2009), Força-Tarefa (2009-) (2009), Supermax (2016-2016) (2016), and Maldivas (2022-2022) (2021 - Netflix). In 2009, Alvarenga was named one of the most influential Brazilians of the year by Época magazine. The link to his website (available here), provides access to his full biography as well as to some of his works, including films and series that can be watched subtitled in English." Could you please try to check the reason why the updated version of my Bio can't be seen by anyone who access my profile? Thanks.

@Jose_AlvarengaJr- Thank you for the information! Further reviewing, this mini-bio that is appearing is because of the preferred site settings. If you have the site under Portuguese language this automatic bio will be the only one to appear. As all mini-bios must be in English as per our guides, this mini-bio you have submitted will appear on your page by changing the preferred site settings and selecting English language.

That's it! Perfect. One last question: is there any way of having the new Bio also in Portuguese, or it is not possible once the IMDb guides says they must be in English?

@Jose_AlvarengaJr- Unfortunately, no, mini-bios must be in English only.
