Once we start organizing archives automatically, bad international titles for french/german/etc movies seem to be worse than original titles for japanese/chinese/etc movies. Poster titles are often in english, this may help on 0xDB. Also, original titles are probably constant, while international titles may get added quite some time after the release. So the proposal would be to make title the original title, not the international title, and on the info page display "Original (International)" instead of "International (Original)".

In addition, the parser will have to be updated to find certain international titles. For example, http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0239925/releaseinfo#akas has an "English Title", but that part is currently commented out in the imdb module. Can we produce a list of all title strings to get a clearer idea?

Ok, so it looks like determining the international title could work like this:

  1. "International (imdb display title) (English title)"

  2. "Foo (imdb display title) (English title)"

  3. "International (English title)"

  4. "Foo (English title)"

  5. "International (foo) (English title)"

  6. "Foo (foo) (English title)"

  7. "USA (foo)"

  8. "UK (foo)"

  9. "International (Foo title)"

If there are multiple matches in 2 or 4-9, sorting by title and taking the first one seems ok (arbitrary, doesn't favor specific countries, languages or version types, favors latin alphabet).

Replying to [j]comment:2:

Fine too.

1 and 2, above, are just a guess, for now.
