I hope this isn't a n00b question that is all over the forum already, couldn't seem to find it anywhere. My problem is that move titles fetched from IMDb is the Norwegian title. Somewhere some process detects that i'm a Norwegian, or maybe it's my IP that reveals my true origin. Anyways, i prefer to keep the titles in English because, well, hmm, Norwegian titles are stupid...

I think this has to do with some changes IMDb did their self lately, cuz this didn't happen earlier. But is there a way or workaround to make IMDb deliver English titles instead?

    This is a problem with IMDb website, when alternative titles in your language are available it will use them. It knows you are located in Norway, so it will serve you Norwegian titles when those are available. When I fixed the IMDb+RottenTomatoes scraper, I also came up with a way to solve the language problem.

    So grab IMDb+ Scraper from: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...auto-rename-titles-group-more-v3-1-4-a-93838/

    If you have an existing collection imported with imdb.com scraper and do not want to loose your watched flags, then remember to modify the IMDb+ scraper ID to match the imdb.com scraper ID (this is explained in thread and note inside scraper XML file). You also have other options you can configure, because you might for example do not want *every* title in English and keep the Norwegian title for local produced movies. This is all possible as well, just adjust the scraper options as explained in the thread and inside scraper XML file.
