Alternate Title Policy Change
Hi all, We are pleased to announce a change to our alternate title policy listed under the Attribute definitions section of the guide. Please see the below. Our goal at IMDb is to be able to represent to any customer in any locale (speaking language and country) what a title is known as. For example, "Black Panther" is known in Germany as "Black Panther" to a German speaking audience, regardless of the text being in English. Similarly, "Das Boot" is known in the USA as "Das Boot" to an English speaking audience, regardless of the text being in German. The main imdb display title for a country should reflect what title the movie/tv show is primarily known as to the locale (speaking language and country) of choice. Previously, submitting an imdb display title for the country of origin was considered unnecessary. However, in order to capture all of the associated title information for a movie/tv show in full, we are now encouraging the submission of an imdb display title for the country of origin. By doing this the title for the original country will also display under the Release Info on the title page. As part of the above work we are also investigating the possibility of further alternate title changes for episodes. Regards, Will
