Hi @rakleed -

As I can see, you are trying to remove the Russian AKA titles from these Games (Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, etc.); to clarify further, In Russia these titles are primarily known under the original English language title, is that correct?

Hello @Michelle​,

These titles are not only primarily known, but have never been translated into Russian by localizers.

I think OP is right, I see their Russian distributor uses English titles: https://www.softclub.ru/games/ps3/8555-silent-hill-hd-collection

Even Russian Wikipedia uses English titles:

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_(%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_2

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_3

So it seems "primarily known" and release titles for Russia are English titles, so imdb display titles should be the English ones, current Russian ones should probably be changed to have "literal title" attribute.

Hello rakleed and mbmb,

I have made the modifications and added the missing items with the correct 

attribute to the titles. The changes will be live on the site shortly!

Cheers!

Hello @Fran,

Thanks! But if you decide to leave the previously added titles in Russian, then they should have the "transliterated title" attribute, and not the “literal title” attribute. Since the literal translation would be completely different — "Тихое место" or "Безмолвное место", as mentioned in the Wikipedia article about the city of the same name from the game.

@rakleed​ I don't know Russian and the nuance between the two variations but if you think there is a better attribute that describes it, I don't think you would have a problem with a submission to change the attribute, you were likely having a problem with these submissions because of the attempt to delete them. Getting a "delete" submission approved is usually harder than a correction.
