Why I can't change the "IMDb display title" for Taiwan to Chinese language? AGAIN!

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/why-i-cant-change-the-imdb-display-title-for-taiwan-to-chinese-language/613356707fa42f0bc9acf030?commentId=613799cdd81e1a256b64238f

I asked to solve this problem before and you think it is solved. However, IT iS UNSOLVED!

HOW MANY TIMES  WILL YOU GUYS RUIN OUR EFFORTS?

The principles changed just in two weeks. I could switch the Taiwan titles to Chinese last week, but this week they were not work. You're frozen our passions. The data censor is not dependable.

We volunteers  sacrificed our time to help your web site complete the project. Shouldn’t you give us more encouragement instead of just wiping out the information we provided in this way?

Besides, I've told you there are lots of homophone and heteronym in Chinese languages. Also the pronunciations are sometimes different between Mainland China and Taiwan. Therefore, I tried to proofread several titles. You  refused my efforts just because you don't understand Chinese, even if I proof it with links from dictionaries.

How could you refuse those proves in this way?

Please fix it. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.

However, they are not all solved!

Some alternate titles are still not correct.

Some titles pronounced incorrectly are still showing in wrong way.

Please solve these problems.

Besides, I hope the new titles' auto "Alternate title: IMDb display title" for Country of Origin can be cancelled.


The IMDb titles must be added as Latin scripts. However, Some countries' the official titles (ex. Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan) aren't written with Latin scripts. We use Latin scripts transliteration to establish the titles on IMDb then add the official as "Alternate title" display for the country. If they are auto added as "Alternate title: IMDb display title", we should "correct" them to the official ones. Ridiculously, the data editors often don't approve of corrections because they can’t read our languages or understand how to show "in an official way" to us.

Hi el_hou -

My sincere apologies for the delayed response.

Can you clarify if you are still experiencing these problems while trying to make alternate title corrections?

@Michelle​ It is still the same now...

I didn't  reply it 5 months before, because I always can't remember the password of the community. If I can use the same ID and password here with IMDb, the user experience will be better.

Hi @el_hou​ -

The title alternate title attribute has now been updated and the changes should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
