The display of genre has had a bug since today on IMDB French mobile version
Hi, I have noticed that there has been a bug on the IMDB mobile version in France (at least) since today.
Indeed, the display of some genres is not correct for all the movies having this genre
If I go for instance on the movie « Backdraft » (1991), I should see the genres at the top of the mobile page. Till yesterday, it was: « Action », « Crime », « Drame » (« drama » in English), « Mystère » (« mystery » in English) and « Suspense » (« thriller » in English)
Since today, it has been: « Action » (ok, no change), « genre_Policier » (?), « genre_Drame » (?), « genre_Mystère » (?) and « Suspense » (ok, no change)
Why did you suddenly replace the « xxx » genres by a new « genre_xxx » ? And not for all genres on top of that


One of the consequences is that when you press the genre, there is 0 film indicated as similar

Usually, you have a lot of films proposed by IMDb as similar

On the desktop version, I see it in English and nothing has changed, so it seems limited to the French display of the mobile version
Can you please investigate, cos it impacts almost all the movies?
Thank you
