Hi everyone,

How to translate genres into Arabic? And how to write actors' names in Arabic?

I'm basically trying to improve the Arabic content in the database (which is very poor unfortunately). So if there is anything else that can be translated please let me know.

Your help is appreciated.

there is this problem for Persian translate. I submitted translations but there isn't any update.

Please, add some corrections to Ukrainian translation:

• Action & Adventure — Бойовик і пригоди
• Sci-Fi & Fantasy — Фантастика й фентезі
• War — Воєнний

Here is the Catalan translation (ca-ES):

Action = Acció
Action & Adventure = Acció i aventures
Adventure = Aventures
Animation = Animació
British = Britànic
Comedy = Comèdia
Crime = Crim
Disaster = Desastres

Updated list of German genre translations de-DE Let me add that the genre "Foreign" doesn't make any sense.

Action = Action
Action & Adventure = Action & Abenteuer
Adventure = Abenteuer
[...]
Thriller = Thriller
War = Krieg
War & Politics = Krieg & Politik
Western = Western

In general I aggree with the German translation by @OttoKerner several years ago. Currently the German genre translation is still not 100% accurate imho:

Movies (some German genres currently have the suffix 'film' which can be always added or not, but since the genres apply for film/movies it is a bit weird... even more: Genres should always be the main 'noun'):

• Dokumentarfilm = Dokumentation
• Kriegsfilm = Krieg
• Liebesfilm = Liebe

TV Series (first: some tv genres are not translated and are still english and second: naming the genre translation for movies and tv series should be equal imho...like for e.g. not 'Science Fiction' for movies and 'Sci-Fi' for tv series. But my second note is just a side note):

• Action & Adventure = Action & Abenteuer
• Dokumentarfilm = Dokumentation
• Kids = Kinder
• News = Nachrichten
• War & Politics = Krieg & Politik
• Sci-Fi & Fantasy = Science Fiction & Fantasy

Ping on 13.09.2024: Can I ask if the requested change is possible for German language?

For Movies:

• Dokumentarfilm = Dokumentation
• Kriegsfilm = Krieg
• Liebesfilm = Liebe

For TV Series:

• Action & Adventure = Action & Abenteuer
• Dokumentarfilm = Dokumentation
• News = Nachrichten
• War & Politics = Krieg & Politik
• Sci-Fi & Fantasy = Science Fiction & Fantasy

Hi, I’m italian and I think that the correct translation for genre “Tv Movie” is “Film Tv” and not “televisione film” (generally not called so here). Thank you.

No one is reading this thread. Don't expect a response from TMDB. Nothing will change. A sad case.

Hi @travisbell,

I've been directed your way by https://www.themoviedb.org/u/banana_girl as part of this conversation: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/674624df9c15749790529df2

For da-DK, could I kindly ask you to correct the genre translation of "History", so it does not end with a space? At the moment the translation reads "Historie ". Additionally the translation for "Documentary" seems to be missing for da-DK. Translated it should be "Dokumentar".

Thanks in advance.

Wrong spelling for Slovenian:

change DraMa to Drama change KoMedija to Komedija
