Titles in data fields don't necessarily match the title for the original release, user's region, or user's language.

I first noticed this when I saw that the trailers and images for the movie "The F Word" (2013), which is the original release title and official English release title here in Canada, are using the alternate U.S. release title "What If". This struck me as a slightly odd but minor issue so I ignored it, but I've since noticed it for some other titles (Asian films with, admittedly, multiple alternate English release titles) which I found somewhat confusing and perhaps a bit more of an issue.

There doesn't seem to be any way to assign the titles shown for trailers, images, or other data fields to either automatically match the original release title, the release title for the user's region, or the release title in the user's language preference. As IMDB seems to be becoming more international, it would be useful if the titles matched in all the data fields.
