We are testing a new feature that uses machine translations for IMDb pages, allowing us to gradually display more sections of the IMDb pages in your preferred language. As we test the feature we want to provide our valued users with a sneak peak, and extend an opportunity to provide feedback.
We are testing machine translations in the following languages:
- Spanish (Mexico)
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- French (Canada)
- Hindi
A limited set of users in Mexico, Brazil, Canada and India will be able to test this experience. For more information about the auto-translation feature see our FAQ page.
Thanks as always for all of your feedback! If you happen to be in the Beta, you will be able to give feedback on auto-translated content by clicking the blue icon, otherwise please feel free to also post your questions or comments to this thread.

I opt-in for the IMDb Auto Translation Beta test.
The Canadian French version on the sample page seems to be almost 100% accurate. I only noticed one seeming error as a past-present tense error, using "is" for "was", when referencing when he was born in the first sentence of the translated French Chris Pratt page.
I applaud offering both French and French Canadian versions, as the two languages are different enough to justify both. I also like existing feature that makes easy to switch between languages by simply toggling.
Another notable issue is for inserted content, like timely related articles on the actor's page being in English on the actor French page, but that was to expected as it is outside the scope of the machine-language translation enhancement at this time. I also noticed some minor actor sub-sections that are not translated too, like antidotes and citations, but the major sections seem to have been translated mostly.
Another quirk is the Chris Pratt actors' Trademark (aka Marques de commerce) section is titled in Canadian French but the bullet point trademarks are still listed in English. I would assume the having a section either 0% or 100% translated would be preferable to a partially translated section.
Overall, I am impressed with Canadian French translation and how accurate the initial Beta version is. Kuodos to the IMDb staff on this roll-out. It is not perfect, but considering how many different details are in a name page, I am in awe.

For the CAST part of the database, in french, instead of "Distribution supérieure", it would be better to use the phrase "Rôles principaux"
