Hey, when I use the alternative titles query for a movie (I need titles in French), I sometimes get it in French, but sometimes don't, even though the title exists in French when I look for it on the website.
Example: The film "Rhapsody in august" - the French title on the website is "Rhapsodie en août", but here's the result of the alternative titles query: {"id":20645,"titles":[{"iso_3166_1":"US","title":"Rhapsody in August"},{"iso_3166_1":"ES","title":"Rapsodia en agosto"}]}
So the French title is completety missing here. Any ideas what the problem is?

Hi szym1000,

Well, that's weird. It's true that this request now returns also the French title, but I'm pretty sure it didn't yesterday. But here's another example:
id: 712 ENG: Four Weddings and a funeral FR: Quatre Mariage et un Enterrement (as seen on themoviedb.org)
And here's the JSON (the French version is clearly missing):
{"id":712,"titles":[{"iso_3166_1":"US","title":"Fyra bröllop och en begravning"},{"iso_3166_1":"IT","title":"Quattro matrimoni e un funerale"},{"iso_3166_1":"HU","title":"Négy esküvő és egy temetés"},{"iso_3166_1":"ES","title":"Cuatro bodas y un funeral"},{"iso_3166_1":"TW","title":"你是我今生的新娘"}]}

The TMDb (http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/712) displays only the alternative titles for: United States of America, Italy, Hungary Spain and Taiwan. Did you add the alternative titles for France yourself?
If yes…maybe the site hasn’t updated yet. (Just an Idea, I don’t know how the TMDb handles new entries)

Well, the thing is that I didn't add any French titles myself. I just entered my account's settings and changed the language to French. This way the titles appear right away in French.
But thanks musiumincapitiss, it's true that in the section "Alternative Titles" it doesn't show the French title. How bizarre is that? If the title exists in French (and it does, because I see it when I've changed the language to French), why isn't it added to Alternative Titles?

Hm strange…
But I think I know what the problem is… the title is a language specific field, so it is different for each language/version of the movie entry… The “Alternative Titles” field has nothing to do with the title field and because of it is not language specific all language/version of the movie entry will display the same alternative titles.
It looks like that you have to load the movie entry in French to get the French title. (maybe this is a change request?)
