[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1005527, member: 18896"] Amazon just keeps changing stuff, and I can only do 'so much' from a USA IP without even seeing what you get. What you worked on before was side-effect behaviour that was never intended to work as such, and caused by IMDb messed up localized title system. Since everything works much better now, you have the following options. If you want "English title (Original title)" then you need to enable that "Add the foreign title" option. If you want "Original title (English title)", then you keep that setting enabled, but you also enable "Start the title with the foreign one first". The fact you got Swedish title sometimes, was because Amazon/IMDb made IMDb+ think those were actually the English title, hence the bad side effect you actually got used to. Now that IMDb+ has been improved to better detect English title, the "Use the original title from the movie" setting can be used to get that behaviour back, however for you that will still lead to unpredictable results, because there is no way for me to know when Amazon/IMDb translated the title. Once I got a full rewrite in place, then I can totally ignore what IMDb gives me on the details page and go after each title-language individually via the AKA page, and write my own system. Then you can get "English title (Swedish title)" or "Swedish title (English title)". Until then you have to settle for the quirky behaviour. [/QUOTE]
