Titles according to user language (localization)
IMDB shows the title of a film in my language (as guessed from my browser settings, I guess). Even if you keep the user interface in English, you should offer (at least in searches) my interface language (with fallbacks for same-language different-country titles), English and the original film language.

Thanks for the feedback! We do have a very international user base, so this makes sense.

Could people interested in this have a look at http://movielens.uservoice.com/forums/238501-general/suggestions/7516354-include-alternate-movie-titles where I basically explained how IMDB does it and how it could look like? Thanks!

I'm Italian and for me it's really hard to find the titles. It will be a helpful feature for all

I fully agree, it would be quite nice and convenient to be able to have - and be able to search for- the original title of the movie (usually in the language of release or production) in addition to the american one.
Granted, it may be a hassle with languages that are written in non latin characters but the information seems readily available on imdb or allocine.fr. For instance, "Spirited away" is also "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi"

Another feedback: The movie should be on the original language. Other translations should be added ina different way.

Please make this optional.
I always use the original titles when I search for a film instead of the idiotic translation they tend to have here. -

Totally agree with this! Sometimes the title in my language is very differente, to i have to search in imdb first, to find here later
