Still no foreign dub credits?

Why are there no foreign dub credits on IMDb?  As someone who doesn't use English as first language, and with dubs getting better and better, It's nice to know what languages are available for a film and who has performed on them.

This is pure speculation on my part (not an official message by the IMDb), but it would create a huge amount of work for the IMDb data editors alone. Since it’s not only animation voice actors and such. Basically everything is dubbed in the countries like Germany, Spain, Italy etc. Movies like The Godfather on IMDb would include 6-7 different set of dubbed voice actors etc. It could easily create a mess with names and characters.

@eboy  Surely have a section for foreign dubbing and then each language would be a subsection within that.  There are already hundreds and hundreds of cast & crew credits for a film like Endgame yet they can't manage this?
