Add a Polish language version of IMDb

Hello everyone,

I would like to suggest adding a Polish language version of IMDb.

IMDb is one of the most important and respected websites in the world for films, series, animation, actors, directors and the whole audiovisual culture. Many people in Poland know IMDb and trust it, but I believe a significant number of users do not use it regularly because it is not available in Polish.

In Poland, the main local alternative is FILMWEB. It is widely used mainly because it is available in Polish, but in my opinion the website is very poorly designed. The interface is confusing, the structure is often chaotic, the user experience is frustrating, and many parts of the site feel outdated or unnecessarily complicated. Many Polish users continue to use it not because it is excellent, but because there is no strong Polish language alternative with the same level of recognition and quality that IMDb already has internationally.

That is why I think this could be a real opportunity for IMDb. A Polish version of IMDb could attract a large number of users from Poland and could seriously compete with, or even replace, a much weaker local product.

In the current age of artificial intelligence, machine translation and localisation tools, adding another language version should be much easier and much less expensive than it was years ago. I understand that proper localisation still requires quality control, moderation and cultural sensitivity, but the basic technological barrier is much lower now. To be honest, I am surprised that a platform as large and advanced as IMDb still has such limited language availability.

A Polish version would be beneficial for users, but also potentially beneficial for IMDb itself. It could mean more traffic, more user engagement, more ratings, more reviews, more community contributions and stronger brand presence in Poland.

I hope IMDb will seriously consider this suggestion. Poland has a large audience of film and series fans, and I believe many of them would gladly move to IMDb if the platform became more accessible in Polish.

Thank you.
