TSV files not convenient to determine reliably Region of origin, is there a better way?
Taking "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" ( IMDb ) as an example (French movie), the basics and akas files give
The basics gives the original title, but not region or language information.
The akas gives a list of titles with region / language, but how do you determine which region it is originally from?
Where the isOrigTitle bit is 1 no region or language is given on that line (only \Ns).
The only way seems to compare the basics title with the akas title to confirm the original region, but in this case there are conflicts (here NL and FR (& IN) for instance).
Am I missing something, or the region/language of origin cannot be reliably determined?

@bon_vin
You are not missing anything, sorry. IMDb does not explicitly store the region nor the language of the original titles in our systems so we do not have this data to publish. The reasons are historical and complicated.
Hope this helps.
