Language problems

I'm trying to enter a film called "I padroni di casa" (IMDb tt2226407) into your data base. At the festival I'm watching it at it has been translated as "The Landlords", which isn't supported by the IMDb which only has the title in Italian. So when I try to enter it with the IMDb title in Italian it tells me:
It seems as though you are entering text in Swedish while browsing in English.
Did you know that TMDb natively supports translations?
If you believe this to be an error, stop by the forums and let us know.
So I changed my language to Italian and go the SAME message. Why it thinks that a perfectly good Italian title is Swedish must be a glitch in your system. This isn't the first time I've had this problem. I wish you would make it easier to enter original language titles no matter what the language of the person entering the film.

Today I still got the Swedish message; but somehow the system did finally manage to enter the film into the database.

Hi kenru,
The only text we check is the overview. Can you please paste the overview you were trying to add and I can look into it.
Thanks.
