 | JLC135 Member since Aug 2014 2724 Points Moderator | Are the 'Other Titles' in Cinema World supposed to link to entries in DVD World? I know the 'English Title' links them and shows up as an AKA, but it doesn't seem to work with these 'Other' ones. |

| JLC135 Member since Aug 2014 2724 Points Moderator | So, can a particular entry's 'Other Titles' in Cinema World be linked to? Or does this not work? |

What??? Then, what's the point of adding other Titles to the Cinema World if they don't link anyway? Once again i'll state my case! Add an Original Title field in the Add Disc submission form and link to the Cinema World. It would be so great function and improvement to the Db. |

| Orbiting Cat Member since Jan 2008 1184 Points Administrator | We did it this way to keep things simple, believe it or not  Linking between DVD and Cinema can be a bit complicated, so we kept the link detection "one way" so that it is manageable. JLC135: you can only link to the original cinema title, or the english title. Edited by Orbiting Cat on 15th Aug 2020, 3:22 PM |

 | Twistin Member since Jan 2012 2057 Points | Does that mean that a DVD release using an alternate title will not be able to find that alternate title in Cinema World if it is housed in the Other Titles area? |

Yes, that would be too complicated a situation to manage I think. It would result in things being linked, but people wouldn't understand why. But I want to reiterate that we're always looking to improve the worlds, so maybe things will work better in the future. |

Detect the link (to Cinema world) from an Original Title field instead of Title field as is now. That way all different releases from all around the world would be gather under the right entry in the Cinema world and we could loose the [year] in the Title field and just use the [year] in the Original Title field instead. People would understand, believe me. As for now people don't understand why they can't add a foreign Title to the Cinema world. Thanks. |

| jaimeeduardo Member since Dec 2012 23850 Points | Extra foreign titles can be input (in Other Titles) and SEARCHED in Cinema, but not from the Title field. Many extra titles in English, and many foreign added titles, appear only in the Comments field, in part because the title fields have evolved over time. As usual, the evolution of fields creates confusion and complexity, especially for new participants who see older records with data input in ways the are no longer valid. It's a good idea when searching Cinema to search any title not found from the Title field in the ALL field, and check search results for Comments that appear below results from any indexed fields in Cinema that display on top. A sample title to search as Title, then as ALL illustrates this: Moszkva szljozam nye verit Hope the above information is understandable. The growing complexity of the system makes it increasingly tough to navigate. |

 | UG1002 Flying Spaghetti Monster Member since Jul 2020 111 Points | So in Cinema world do we put films in original language. If japanese put in Kanji If russian in Russian Or we just put english and ignore original titles? |

| Twistin Member since Jan 2012 2057 Points | Original title is my understanding, so original language as well. As for the cast & crew, those need to be entered in Roman/Latin characters. See THIS post regarding language and character sets. |
