As for the asian titles matching with their original name, I might be able to correct that. See the English title only gets corrected inside the DETAILS node, but the matching occurs in the SEARCH node, and the latter relies on akas.imdb.com which shows more original titles (the Asian title in this case). It is indeed still the correct movie based on the English title in the AKA results, but it is indeed tough to find out if it is the right one. The problem will be complicated as some users will have the Asian title in their filename and then it would fail if the English one is selected.But I got an extensive Asian collection myself, so at least I can test this myself. Unfortunatly only to some degree with the geographic location based title translation being a major pain in the <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Ok, it looks like my assumptions on how IMDb handles the title in other countries was wrong, my only reference has been based on US (America), NL (The Netherlands) and AU (Australia). I figured I add in New Zealand (NZ), United Kingdom (UK) and Canada (CA) for good measures, but thanks to Matt it already is clear now that IMDB uses GB for Great Britain instead.The problem now is that a country like Greece with code GR is not using a translated title, which is totally throwing off the way my script works. So to avoid problems I need to switch from a blacklist to a whitelist method, meaning that I need to find out all the 2-letter country codes where IMDB uses locale titles. This is most likely a long list, and I know already it will include DE, ES, IT, etc. but it will take time to get help from other MovingPictures users to build this list.So for the time being I will keep using the blacklist method and replace UK for GB, and add GR (Greece) and NO (Norway) code as well.</blockquote>
