Hi,

I'm migrating my software from version 2.1 to 3, and I see that in the JSON response for movie data, there are two fields in regard to the title of a movie: "title" and "original_title".

What is the difference between the two ?

When I do a search by movie title, and I get multiple results, which of the two values shoud I use for a more in depth comparison with the query string ?

Thanks.

Hi Eugen,

original_title is the original title in whatever language the movie was made in. The best example I can give is Amélie. The original_title is "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" while if you request the en version, you will get back a title of "Amélie". But if you request the fr version, you will get "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" returned for both.

Obviously, for most "hollywood" films, they are english films with english titles so you'll see both fields are the same. The fields being separated is primarily relevant if you're requesting any language other than english.
