Show localized AKA movie title?

(1/3) > >>

johnye_pt:
Hello. I've been using PVD 0.9.9.21 portable for months and it's the best movie database program i ever!

I have a doubt about AKA titles. For example, "Alice In Wonderland" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/) is AKA "Alice no País das Maravilhas" for Brazil / Portugal, i would like to know if it's possible to show Portuguese AKA title first when it exists.

If this is not yet possible, maybe it could become a feature for a future release  ;)

Welcome, johnye_pt.

Yes, it's possible to change the title to that used when released in a particular country...

Then it is possible to select your preferred language Title display country. Enter your ID and the password to the PVD preferences (Plugins – IMDB – Configure) and everything is fine.

See IMDb Site Preferences, item 8.

Maybe i'm missing something. I registered an account at IMDB and changed site Preferences to Portuguese Title display country and language, IMDB shows Portuguese movie title when searching or entering a direct movie link, and added login/password to IMDB plugin in PVD. But when i added a movie to PVD it was all in English (as it is supposed to be and as i like it) and the first AKA title was still the same as in the IMDB list (Spanish in the movie i added), not filtering out Portuguese stuff anywhere.

EDIT: topic title should be "Show selected localized AKA movie title first?", because all i want is exactly that, in the AKA titles list, the first AKA title shown in the selected language (when available) and all the other AKA titles below that one, everything else can stay in English as it already is.

Sorry, I assumed you would prefer the Portuguese title displayed as the Title. There's no way to change the order of the AKA list, other than to manually edit the field.

If there were to be a feature added, I think it would be to put the title for a specified country into a separate "Local title" field. But even then, I doubt such a feature would interest many users. :-\

johnye_pt:
A localized title field would be a good feature too, or better yet an option to switch between original title and localized title in the main Movie List  ;)

Could a custom script download the AKA list from IMDB, filter the localized AKA title (if available), and reorder the list with the localized AKA title at first position?

I like having all my movies with original title (usually English), but sometimes friends/family members don't recognize the movie by it's original title, hence the need for localized titles.
